There is a poster here who calls that powder by Leverlotion. Thanks for the visual! To the OP, RL-15 and 170gr Partitions is a very good spot to be in. RL-15 and the 160 gr FTX aint bad, either.

Hodgdon CFE-223 is also a excellent choice across all bullets weights. CFE-223 is just a tad slower than Hodgodon "Leverlution" powder.

Any news about the 30-30 Creedmoor? Dan? I am told that Marlin (Remington) is coming out with the Model 336 Improved. No word on its release date yet. No plastic stock ? If it only had rails and tacticool optics I'd buy one to go with my Mossberg 464 Zombie killer.

I am almost there. The winter here always puts a halt to range work destined for a book. The cold temperatures and wind aren't noticed much by the rifles or cartridges, but the fool who squeezes the trigger is often afflicted. One tends to get sloppy when sitting on a frigid firing line. I think I am going to try bringing a one person blind to the line next winter, and put a heater inside.
There is an argument that bullets fly faster, the colder it gets. A debate best had by professors of physics and calculus.
Renumerated History
My old calculus prof once said that errors happen faster, and more often, when projectiles travel faster downrange than their predecessors. The fysics dep't agreed.
When asked if he meant higher bullet velocity or rapidity of fire, he said, "Yes."
He also told us that American writer, Henry Miller, is credited with the observation, “When $hit becomes valuable, the poor will be born without a$$holes." But finished by saying that while he meant no disrespect to Miller, truisms like that were around before he put words to paper. "In short," he concluded, "What's old is new again." Hmmm. "When it's raggedy a$$ cold out, why are you there?"
So, the argument that cold influences velocity would begin anew. And a third professor, someone philosophical, would be needed to continue the argument.

That box mag on the 336 would be all right if they integrate in a mag cutoff switch so you could go from tube fed brush loads to ELD's out of the box when needed. Ackley was a lot of things, in his book he said nothing to gain from improving the 270 as it was all ready overbore. But ,I do believe Sam Fadala the writer thought the 30-30 Ack Imp was the cat's meow. MB

But ,I do believe Sam Fadala the writer thought the 30-30 Ack Imp was the cat's meow. MB Fadala wrote a book titled "Winchester's 30-30, Model 94" that was published in 1986. It had a chapter on the 30-30 Improved and Fadala was a fan of both the 30-30 and 30-30 Improved. I think that the 30-30 is a suitable cartridge for shooting medium game within its performance envelop, particularly in the hands of competent hunter who knows the limits of both his/her shooting skills and those of the cartridge.
