csaws: The best ammo to use is Hornady's new plastic tipped 200 gr. LEVERevolution ammo. They claim it will allow our old 100 yard 'brush guns' to accurately hit targets up to 300 yards with 40% more energy and 250 fps faster mv. Surprisingly, I've found the cost to be nearly the same as Remington or Winchester 150 grain soft points, $20 - $25/box of 20, but I'm buying 35 Rem caliber.
You may have to snoop around, or order on-line, if you need 35 Rem caliber ammo, but 150 gr 30-30 caliber should be everywhere ammo is sold - and much cheaper. The Hornady 30-30 ammo will probably also be in the $20 - $25 range.
Go to the Hornady website and listen what they have to say about their new ammo. Click on "more info" in the red box to the right of the picture of the bullet and another window will open with a video. https://www.hornady.com/shop/?ps_se...&category_id=2f7af4cf2fbe021994131c5c629a8115
The only negative I can see in their new ammo is that they suggest you do not keep rounds stored in the tube magazine as spring tension could flatten the plastic tip and mess with the ballistics.
