[QUOTE="tim_w, post: 1835948, member: 11132"] The old double thirty (30-30) is an american iconic cartridge. With its dated design is still capable of accuracy rivaling the 6ppc and 30 br. In fact the first sub 0.100 agg EVER in BR comp was from a 30-30 based wldcatt (basically a 6.8 spc setback 30° shoulder blown taper 6mm neck) There is another BR shooter 100/200 group/score that on a dare started shooting a standard rimmed 30-30 (no wildcatt) and won numerous events and championships with agg averages sub 0.100. Just look at that nice long neck of 0.400. Skim the rim to a even consistent small headspace and never have to bump a shoulder ever. For a leveraction, Ackley it by running the AI reamer in and add 150-300 fps with handloads yet still will shoot standard ammo accurately. That would make for a nice somewhat unique lever action yet one you could shoot the widely available ammo in if you needed and have it fireformed for later handloading. With the poly tipped bullets and powders available can really add perf to its old FN/SP heritage. Maybe look for a 22" instead of the standard 20". Of course there are the 24" as well. Theres really cool things to do with leveractions. Take one of the newer browning Winchester replicas and have it rebarreled to 50 Alaskan That would be a serious thumper in the brush. . [/QUOTE]
