I just received an e-mail from a gunsmith I was asking to have the 30-30 AI conversion performed on my 336W.
I was advised that since I had a micro-grooved barrel that I would strip the rifling by shooting at AI speeds.
I am confused because I shoot a 125 grain FNHP at 2500 fps already. That is faster than a 150 grain or 170 grain factory bullet.
Does this warning hold water?
