Hello fellow casters,
I originally posted this by accident in the lever guns section. Probably better here.
I've just picked up a mint Marlin GA30 (same as 336) 30-30 from my LGS. It has the micro groove barrel on it. This is my largest concern or at least question in what mold should I use. It seems I remember reading that's to groove barrels act differently than Ballard style rifling.
I would like to get a 150 - 180 grain has checked design. Preferably with cup points. Therefore, I'm looking at a NOE 311165 mold. But, before shelling $ for a custom mold I wanted to reach out and pick the minds of everyone here.
So, what do you shoot in your micro groove barrel? Also, just for my reference, please list your load and accuracy as well.
PS, I do want a medium to hot load. Hit, I'm after accuracy and knock down more than anything. Thanks in advance for all info.
