Remember not to load pointy bullets in your tube magazines!
Winchester 30-30 Lever Action Shooting V-Max
Remember not to load pointy bullets in your tube magazines!

After load development I took 4 shots, three at 100 yards and one at 300.
These two shots are 2 and 4. I missed shot 1 just high actually nipped the lid ever so slightly. Shot 3 hit the steel mid height/right, you can see the mark in the video.

I am going to use the V-Max in the 30-30 for most of the time. I only ever load it with one bullet right before I shoot anyway, so the pointy bullets aren't a problem.

The powder is up the neck 1/8", I set the bullet right on the lands; there may be a 1/4" empty space in the case. 2 more grains powder over the VIHT N 135 for 90fps less speed... about the same trajectory at 300.

I like the V-Max with either powder, I like the versatility I have now.

Open sights at 300 yards is fine shooting in anyone's book. Well done!

That is the problem with internet forum mods, they rarely understand what constitutes legitimate, honest and civil debate. They reward the trolls and annoy the people genuinely trying communicate. I don't really like this place anyway, have fun with your power trip. ...nuff said. --> Last edited by The_Rifleman; 04-24-2010 at 12:39 AM..
