I just got off the phone with Marlin, apparently you need a specific follower to use the revolutions in your marlin 336s. This would have been nice to know before these rounds jammed in my magazine causing the carrier to jam and the lever to seize up. i ended up having to take the tube apart to get the stuck ammo out and seize the weapon. Not cool. Call Marlin and they will send you the follower.
According to the ballistics, the pointed tip allows the round to cut the air smoother and retain more speed and energy than the flat tip bullet. I once talked with guy who reloaded his own ammo. He was already using pointed (spitzer) tip bullets years ago in his 30-30. BUT, he could only have one in the chamber, and one in the tube magazine at a time. He said it gave him good knock down out to 300 yards. Now the Hornady will allow several in the tube magazine.

150 or 170 Powerpoint will do just fine ... for less money.
To be honnest, I believe the hit of a powerpoint (flatnose) is deadlier because the bullet opens up on contact while the hornady needs more penetration to start the damage. And at 200 yards, lets be honnest, a .30-30 is not the ideal caliber.
Than again, I only dream of 200-250 yards shots... in real life... 100 yards ...
@bigpike08 yeah, they're pointless unless u hav a marlin cus the Win94's have iron sights, and 250 yards with an iron sight, you better be a damn good shot at a 100-150 lb 3 ft tall animal. I'll stick with Core-Lokt.
yeah... I bought 3 boxes of this for my new 336C.35 Marlin. The action would not close. I could not chamber the round. I found out from Hornady that it was made out of spec. They returned my 3 boxes of ammo that I had sent back to them but they did not even send me an extra box for all of my trouble. The question now is... will the next box I buy have the same problem because they did not pull the bad ammo from the retail store shelves?
for those of you who reload im wondering what your best loads are, would you please pm me or something and tell me wich load youve had best success in, im new to reloading and i need to know what powder and bullet i should use,
300 is pushing it. 200-250 is more realistic. I have found that i had to re-sight in my scope for this ammo. I was high and to the right with it until i did.
great ammo but their warranty is really bad .I recieved a replacement box that is all dented and discolored . I was told it will not affect how it shoots .I don't know about you but I always check ammo before I buy it in the store . I never would have purchased it .They look like reloads .Like buying a new car that has paint damage and dents in it . Would you buy it ? I think not .
excuse me, but what scope would you recommend for a 30/30 using this new ammo?

Can't wait to get a reloading kit! Hornady's 325gr FTX at max pressure ought to make some serious moose medicine!

the 30-30 is a fine hunting gun that can kill deer and big game with other ammo than this

300 yards?! Amazing. I'll still use my cast for plinking, but I gotta get a box of these.

I prefer to use buffalo bore .45-70 for hunting, however for target shooting this is cheap, powerful, and more accurate due to the pointed tips.
