My Model 94 is in love with 170 grain Hornady IL, 29.5 grains 3031, and a CCI 200 primer.
Outstanding accuracy and 2125 fps from the 20" barrel. The 170 grain IL behaves nicely at that speed and has deep penetration for less-than-ideal angels.
It's quite satisfying to center-shoot the chest, watch it "Rodeo Kick", and give a short death run. Usually 20 to 40 yards.

"Less-than-ideal angels"? Would that make them devils?

Dem Debils died...  I wondered about the spelling, spell check says OK to both. 50/50 and I get it wrong, but then again my luck is I could walk out in a shower of whores and I'd get hit by a homo....

We should both be so lucky! Pic of the 190 grainer I love so much for .30-30 work: ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/K6DbHUK.jpg)

That's nice!
At the moderate .30-30 velocities, it should really penetrate. The rifle will think it's a .303 Savage.

For a deer load, I would go with top end loads of LVR. It has done very well for me in any lever caliber that I can load with it.

My favorite load in my Henry All Weather and Marlin 336A is 36grains of LVR and a 170 grain Speer Hot Core. In my Henry it cloverleafs for me at 100 yards. In the marlin I get about 1 1/2” groups. I could make that load better buts it’s nice having one load for 2 rifles.
