I was at Academy today, celebrating Father's Day with my dad, and I overheard someone saying that a .223 was nearly a perfect deer-killing round. I promptly turned around and walked off before blowing up in their face.
But other than that, while cruising the ammo aisle, I saw Monarch 30-30 ammo for 7 dollars per 20 round box. I couldn't pass this deal up, seeing as how that day I was planning on ordering 100 rounds from Cabelas. It would have cost me around 65 dollars, including tax, to get it from them. I picked up 6 boxes and checked out right then. 44 bucks in all is not a bad price at all.
My question is, is this stuff very good? They are 150 grain soft flat point bullets. I'm still thinking of buying some Hornady 170 grain soft flat point ammo that I usually use for hunting when the season rolls around again, and I was planning on using this ammo just for general purpose. But if I could use it for hunting, I will.
Any opinions? My gun is a Marlin 336.
