I have had 3 Savage 340 bolt actions a couple of single shots and a Savage 24 30-30/20 gauge. I have never owned a lever gun in 30-30!

I have found that the Remington factory round 50 grain "Accelerator" is about like shooting a 223 bolt gun and kills groundhogs very well at 300+ yards!

I loaded light plinker rounds for dad's 1952 Win 94 30-30 using a 117 cast RNFP over 5 grain of Unique (stuff 1/2 cotton ball on top of the powder). Very much 32-20 performance, and good for pests around the barnyard! Not nearly as loud as full power 30-30.
