Have used 3031 in the 06 with that bullet for kids to shoot their deer. It has NEVER failed, and the kids could shoot it rather easily. Its an excellent combo, and certainly effective in the field.

I know you said no down loads... but I'll just add the bullet is an excellent performer at the lower speeds also. So overall a good bullet choice in the 30 caliber family.

Took several deer years ago, loading it in a 30/30. One in the pipe and one in the magazine tube. Never needed the second bullet.
