I've got a Savage 340 in 30-30 that I'm working up as a Yute rifle for #1 granddaughter.
Somebody somewhere mentioned using hollow-point boat-tail bullets. I've not been able to find actual working recipes.
Q: Have any of you actually used HPBT's in a 30-30 bolt gun? What bullet did you use? How did it work?
One more point. In my limited experience I've garnered that HPBTs are for longer distances. No .30-30 I've shot was a long range affair. Even with Hornady Flex Tips it's still a sub 300 yard gun, well at least mine is. I would think a good accurate flat base bullet would serve you better, in whatever weight. JMHO.
