Hey guys,
I have been feeding Leverevolutions to my old 336 in .30-30 since they came out. They have always shot really good groups, and the terminal performance has been very good as well. I stocked up on them years ago and I am just now getting low on them. As a result I recently bought a new box to make sure I can get through deer season. Well, I made a trip to the range today where I put some rounds down range. As expected the old stuff shot really good, about 1 1/4". The new stuff shot about 3 inches high and the groups were in the 2 1/2" range. I shot a few 150 grain Power Points for comparison sake and they shot great too. My question is, has anyone out there experienced anything like this? The brass and primers on the new stuff looks different than the old, and the shoulder of the brass is a little different too. I am bummed out regarding this new ammo. Luckily still have a few rounds put back for season.
