Home Forums Hunting & Shooting General Big Game 35 Remington

One load that has shown great promise in the 30-30 is the Hornady 140 ftx bullet. These actually chronograph around 2500 fps in my 30-30 rifles. I have killed one big sow at about 125 yards,dead right there with a big exit wound. She probably weighed 180 pounds. Have also killed several hogs at close range in traps with the 140 ftx,all instant kills with exits.

Maybe my bad experience with the 30-30 was a fluke,maybe the fast Hornady loads with the 140 ftx are a game changer for the 30-30.
