Has anyone used these with good results?
I bought the Factory Nosler 150gr Ballistic Tip ammo this weekend and took it to the range to see how it performed. It was pretty accurate (1-1.5" groups @100), but my chrono only clocked it at an average of 2,037fps. I have loaded the Hornady 160gr FTX bullets and have been able to get them slung out there at about 2,350fps, so I would like to reload the E-Tips to see what they can do. My gun doesn't seem to like the FTX's, no matter what powder/load combo I use. (2.0-3.5" groups @100 at best).
I would use the Ballistic Tip bullets for this, but it seems they do not sell them for the 30-30, only use them in their factory ammo.
I will be using the LEVERevolution powder as I already have it on hand. Could someone please run a load sheet? I can't seem to find any good load data that I'm comfortable starting with. It would be greatly appreciated!
I will be shooting them through an cherry Marlin 336CS w/20" barrel. (1988 model I believe, according to what I could find searching the serial number)
