I"ve been trying to get old A model Marliin 30-30 to shoot cast boolits where I want them to go for quite some time...off and on.
Yesterday,using a gc boolit a pard whomped up,I shot 3 rounds into one hole !
ok,ok,it was at close range as I"m too lazy to chase targets when trying loads out,but 3 shots in 1 hole at 40 yards is the BEST I've done with this lever gun !
150 grain gc boolit of unknown recipe,over 10 grains of Unique.Roll crimped in various brand cases.
btw,my buddies bolt gun shot them well also.
It may be,as some have reported here,that some guns like 150 grain bullets better than 170's,etc.
. I have a dozen or so of them left to load up,wll try varying the powder charge a bit to see...well,just to see. lol
I sure wish my range wasn't FIFTY MILES away ,I just gotta try it again !
