Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting 170 grain FP (30-30) loads for 30-06

I'd wouldn't do it either. Most 170 gr. FP, .30-30 bullets are designed to function with a muzzle velocity of 2100-2200 fps. I'd much rather play with a 150 gr. standard cup and core bullet at 2500 fps. The old .300 Savage was always regarded as a great deer load with a C&C bullet in that velocity range. E
