Curious if anyone here has tried 30-30 bullets in a .308. I'm particularly interested in the Hornady 160 grain FTX. My woods rifle is a custom Mannlicher stocked model 788 in .308 with a 17" Douglas barrel. This rifle is very accurate with mild loads and 165 grain bullets, but I'd like a bit more expansion. Velocity with the 165 Nosler bullet is over 39.1 grains of IMR 3031 is 2460fps. Any and all input would be appreciated.
You could switch to the 165 grain Speer boat tail. They're on the soft side.
