My first 30-30 was a model 340C Savage. It had a 18 1/2 inch barrel and shot really well though it had a oversize chamber and cases stuck with all but the most mild loads. Using pointed bullets it was necessary to trim the cases so that the ogive of the bullet wasn't inside the case mouth. I shot it with 150 gr. bullets on top of 29.0 grains of 3031 and took several deer with it. Presently my Contender Carbine in 30-30 AI is a favorite, case life, accuracy and velocity are all just right. Ready to hunt with this year.
