I’ve used the FTX bullets in my Bushmaster and had great results. So I’ll add that to my list. I’ve got some Varget so I’ll give that a shot as well. Thanks for the reply.Originally Posted by muforester

Have you taken any game with the FTX bullets? I know they are accurate, but I have heard mixed reviews on how they perform on game. I haven't got the chance to see how they do, only target shooting.

Deadly! I wish I could upload a video. I loaded some up for my buddies 450 and they just don’t go anywhere. The furthest for me is 12 yards only because he went up on back legs and fell backwards. If you place it right there’s no issue. Some complain of no blood trail but personally I haven’t had an issue.

Great timing. My brother and I inherited a 30-30 each from my Grampa long passed. The guns have been sitting in a closet for 20 years. None are collectible, both used hard. I have 3031 and Varget, but I use the Varget so 3031 it will be. Going to load 170 Sierra, with 27.5 gr 3031. Mid speer book which goes from 25.5 to 29.5 to pick up less than 300 fps. Probably just throw them with the 550 once dialed in. We have 4 30-30s and only looking for minute of coke can at 75. Should be fun. Life time of brass and 250 pulled bullets bought at a gun show years ago in anticipation of today

I enjoy loading for and shooting my 30-30 rifle. Mine is just an old "Glenfield" by Marlin, and it shoots so nicely. A joy to carry & shoot. I've even taken to handloading some 150 gr cast bullets over a modest charge of Unique for a very soft-shooting fun load at the range.
Regards, Guy
