What 120 grain bullet were you loading in the 7-30 for deer? Hornady stopped producing the 140gr flat nose bullet. I made up a spare take-down barrel for my .303 99 Savage because I couldn't get .303 brass, and now I can't get 140 grain flat-nose bullets for the 7-30 barrel. I'm guessing that 120 gr bullets would be short enough to feed in the old style '99 receiver. I have plenty of brass, but have not seen loaded ammo for years.
I was at a gun show about 2-3 years ago, and Winchester or whoever bought them, were selling model 1895(I think)rifles in 30.06. How is that for power in a lever action?
