.30-30 success

[Thumbcocker]

It has been a long road but the Marlin Centennial has finally come around. With a couple of ranging shots I was able to hit a clay bird on the 200 yard berm. Happiness [emoji4]. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20211224/aa5d8c4c1374aa52781866e2998c60b3.jpg

where can a fellow get some of those Ranch Dogs ?

[Shuz]

Still very nice group at 100 yards!

About the same load I use with the 185 GC version of the RD. Works well. Loaded some with unique and 145gr PB to try, got new electronic muffs I want to try, hoping for a bit warmer day.

gordie, sent you a pm about some ranch dog slugs.

Budzilla... replied via PM... THANKS.

Sweet! Very similar to my favorite except I'm using a Lee 170 FN.

Great shooting!!

3031 has always been a good choice!

In my Savage 340 - 30/30 using IMR4198 is the rule. Shooting your group size but only @ 100yards. Also with peep sights.

CWJust to clarify. The target is 100 yards. I did hit a clay bird on the 200 yard berm once I got the holdover right. Target is NOT 200 yards.

nice 100 yd shooting !

[gwpercle]

Congratulations ...Well Done ! :drinks:

Ironic , my pet 30-30 load is with a 175 grain Lyman #311041 GC FP
over 27 grs. IMR 3031 @ 1852 fps .
3031 just seems to work with the 30-30 and cast boolits !
Good Shooting ... a clay bird at 200 yards ...WOW !
I'm Impressed !

3x9 scope. Sandbag rest. Not super hard.

I disagree. If you hit a clay at 200 yards every shot with a .30/30 cast bullet, you are one hell of a caster, reloader and shooter. That is very impressive.

[Thumbcocker]

Not every shot. Ranging shots with a spotter to figure out which cross bar on the post to use. Then hit the bird. Then quit while I was ahead.

Always quit when ahead. 30/30 145 PB & 9.5 unique. Fun, no recoil and plenty for hogs. Just front bag @ 50. Disregard the top 2, an experiment that didn't work. Kinda cold that day, could have done better. Just loaded up another 30 rnds of it.

Great shooting! Nice to see you use the same high end targets I use.

[marshall623]

That's a fine group at 100 , once dialed in I believe you would be good for 1 clay bird per shot at 200
