[QUOTE="Deleted member 46119, post: 912680"] I have 3 lever guns. When I shoot them it's a gas. A 1866/1966 Winchester 100 anniversary in 30-30. A 1866 Uberti in 45 Colt for Cowboy Action but I am quite willing to use it for close range hunting. A Winchester M88 in 284. As for A-Max in a 30-30: Yes, of course you are on your own if you do and you probably have a 1/2 twist, OK for 168's but if 1/16 they won't stabilize. I would not tube load, not because of danger which is real but because the tips on A-Max are easily deformed. This is a very different tip from [URL="http://www.midwayusa.com/product/449013/hornady-leverevolution-ammunition-45-colt-long-colt-225-grain-flex-tip-expanding-box-of-20"]LEVERevolution[/URL]. You are looking at 2000-2400 fps just like any other 30-30 load. Make sure you don't jam the bullet into the rifling. or These are all in stock at Midway [URL="http://www.midwayusa.com/product/898281/speer-hot-cor-bullets-30-caliber-308-diameter-170-grain-jacketed-soft-point-flat-nose-box-of-100"]Speer Hot-Cor Bullets 30 Cal (308 Diameter) 170 Grain Jacketed Soft[/URL] [URL="http://www.midwayusa.com/product/827044/oregon-trail-trueshot-cast-bullets-30-caliber-309-diameter-170-grain-lead-flat-nose-gas-check-box-of-100"]Oregon Trail Trueshot Cast Bullets 30 Cal (309 Diameter) 170 Grain[/URL] [URL="http://www.midwayusa.com/product/481703/swift-a-frame-lever-action-rifle-bullets-30-30-winchester-caliber-308-diameter-170-grain-bonded-flat-nose-box-of-50"]Swift A-Frame Lever Action Rifle Bullets 30-30 Winchester Cal (308[/URL] [URL="http://www.midwayusa.com/product/348014/swift-a-frame-lever-action-rifle-bullets-30-30-winchester-caliber-308-diameter-150-grain-bonded-flat-nose-box-of-50"]Swift A-Frame Lever Action Rifle Bullets 30-30 Winchester Cal (308[/URL] [/QUOTE]
