Any of you guys try this heavy 30-30 load ? Would it be ok for elk size game in short range hunting?
I do not have experience with Buffalo Bore's .30-30 load, but I have shot 1000's of rounds of Buffalo Bore ammunition, both rifle & revolver, cast and jacketed and have found it to be as good or better than the premium offerings from Federal & Hornady. Both from a consistency and from an accuracy stand point. I have found that Buffalo Bore's published velocity claims are more accurate in real world guns than what customary from other manufacturers.
Buffalo Bore 's .30-30 load is a jacketed flat point not cast. It is also listed at 2100 fps and Federal's premium load is a 170 gr Nosler partition at 2200 fps, so I don't see that you are losing much velocity with Buffalo Bore.
Sorry if I am off topic, but I tried to answer the question that was asked:)
