Leverevolution for varmints?
« on: February 04, 2008, 11:38:48 PM »
What, if anything, in a Leverevolution round would make a good varmint load for the .30/30?  I think it would come in handy doing drives for coyotes, what do you think?

I have taken "yotes" with a 30-30 at around a 100 yards. I would be looking at ballistics charts to find some of the faster loads in 30-30. More than likely the LE rounds from Hornady will be the load to use. When I hunt for "yotes" exclusively, I use a .243 using 55gr. Hornady V-Max bullets.

Old grizz,
Thanks for the reply.  I was thinking more in regards to a new round, not one currently available for the .30/30.

Winchester has come out with a new "gummy point" 30-30 for levers , but I'm not sure what they call it. The Hornady LE ammo came out about 3 years ago which revolutionized the levergun. They use hot powder along with a spitzer type bullet. They have some pretty impressive ballistics.
