140gr Hornady Monoflex

I would be concerned over 100 FPS , at the distances you would be hunting with an open sighted 30/30 . with the ammo grouping like this , I'd grab it and go hunting .

I agree with Jim, but I also wouldn’t be scared to bump 1/2 grain at a time to that 2300 territory to see if it still shoots. If not, you know where to go back to for accuracy.

When looking at Hodgdon’s 30-30 load data for Leverevolution , it list a 24” barrel. I know it was slower than what I was expecting out of my Savage 30-30 , again my 20” barrel might have contributed to that.

Disappointing to not get the velocity you want. You could continue to slowly work up or just hunt as is. It'll still wallop anything you need it too.
