Shootermick,
Best all-round cartridge I've used in either a 336 .30/30, or a Win 94, is the Winchester 150Gn Hollowpoint.
SERIOUSLY destructive on anything, doesnt deform in the mag, and is nigh identical in ballistics to other 150gn .30/30 ammo.
I've tried the Hornady Leverlution(??) 165gn FTX and have even loaded the projectiles up myself. My biggest gripe is the rifle then shoots somewhere between a .308 and a normal .30/30, and so you get really confused with what holdover to give anything.
The Winchester 150Gn HP loads fly like the bricks that the standard 150gn .30/30 ammo are, and so easy to figure out (after you've fired a few).
Annoyingly, I've never been able to find these Winchester projectiles for sale anywhere, to load them up myself.
However, for a factory load, they are unbeatable.
WINCHESTER
SUPER X 30-30, 150GR JACKETED HOLLOW POINT AMMUNITION
$32.35 /PER 20
$145.60 /PER 100
$274.99 /PER 200
Cheers,
Rod.
