    As I mentioned on two of your R95 30-30 Win videos I am waiting on one in 360 Buckhammer. I now live in Ohio and need a straight wall cartridge. So I am looking forward to trying it out and like you mentioned most places only have those Remington and Federal loads. I will see how it goes and might eventually reload.

    Pretty good shooting at 100. I saw others mention retesting the first two especially since they did so well at 50. You mentioned a vast improvement. Everything was minute of deer and the last 4 were good enough that people shooting a bolt action rifle would be happy with those results. I’m excited to get my R95 in 360 Buckhammer and do something similar

    After shooting those three groups at 50 yds, my first thought was, why waste anymore ammo at 100? Good decision lol. I've had good groups with the 160gr in my Marlin 336XLR (24" barrel) than you're getting, but I just don't like the bullet. I get the same velocity with the 150gr. I've gotten good accuracy with the Federal Hammer Down ammo at 100yds. Right at 1". Deer MOA for me. 3 touching at 50yds. I have a 2x7,32 scope so at 100 I think it shoots pretty good. There's a real good channel that does ballistic testing on all ammo (Mason Outdoors) and you should check out his videos on the Federal Bonded soft point and the Hammer Down.

      @@willisblevins4190 I honestly believe Henry makes a great rifle. I showed that it is capable of shooting a good group, that Federal 180 at 100 yards was a great group. I don’t believe it’s the rifle to blame for peoples bad groups, I more believe it’s the lack of quality factory ammo. I could only find Remington and Federal ammo and only in 180 grain and 200 grain. I believe this may shoot better with a 170 grain or even a 165 grain bullet, I don’t believe anyone makes them in this caliber. If more companies start making ammo for the gun I believe with experimentation you could find an even better load for this gun. Thanks for your comment and for watching the video.

      @ryancustureri5586 28 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Remember, most people that talk about accuracy are trying to do it through iron sights, and not properly zeroed optics. Or they put a red dot on top. Others don't have proper shooting skills either as the trigger pull is not the same as a typical bolt action. I see it all the time at the range people using modern bolt guns missing paper at 25 to 50 yards; a guy was doing it yesterday with the 30 ought 6 and missed four times just trying to get on paper. At 100 yd and 20 rounds later, only three splatter blasts were within 5 in of the target On my rifle, I have a Trijicon acupoint 1x4 mountain with a green triangle reticle as it's perfect for 150 yards or less--I also shoot it suppressed, and non-suppressed. I can reach out to 200 and still obtain a 2.5 MOA. I also have it zeroed at 160 yd. With that said, I typically run PowerShock, or hammer down 150 grain for the 30-30, as well as 170 grain fusion bullets. All of the ammo will group 1.2 or less MOA or less consistently. With that said, I also went through six different cartridges and weights to determine what my rifle like the best.

    Every rifle is different. My Marlin likes 'em hot. I use H4895 max loads, 150 gr. Sierras. It also likes Leverevolution, which is a pretty hot load. I tried IMR 3031. It is OK but not as good as the H4895. I have some H335 but haven't tried it yet. I think it is more the velocity (and the bullet) than the powder, but that's just my uneducated opinion. You are on the right track with your testing, plus it's fun to go shoot.

  • @lanceroberthough1275
    @lanceroberthough1275 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    So it looks like the Rossi may have a faster twist rate and so it's going to like heavier bullets or the higher velocity bullets in the 150 grain. It'll be interesting to do with a chronograph to verify this.

    @baconator754 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Couple of tips. Rifles with two-piece stocks usually shoot better when rested on the frame or just forward of that. Second, parallax can be an issue with fixed-focus scopes at close range set at high power. The low comb of the Henry can make it difficult to stay centered behind the eyepiece, which reduces the effect. I had an early Henry .308, one subject to the trigger recall. It would group my standard handload sub-moa for three at 100. It was damaged on its way back from the recall, and the replacement barrel was less accurate. I still have a .410 and a .357, and like them a lot. I’d like to see Henry offer a stock better suited for scope use. Add-on risers work, but add weight and can shift around. The recalled triggers and new ones are quite nice for a gun in this price range, perfectly usable, and better than most lever-actions by a good bit.

    I wish you would do 100yd testing. All your testing seems to be at 50. Was the bore cleaned before this test? I am not impressed with the accuracy at 50yds. At 100yds those groups are going to open up more, so it looks like the R95 has below-average accuracy. Now I have think about purchasing the R95, because I am not liking the groups I am seeing, but the Federal does OK I guess. I would have preferred to see 5-shot groups to determine if the R95 can keep shooting "tight" with the Federal.

      @@sprucehilloutdoors Cool thank you. I wasn't aware of a 100yd video. I am guessing you have the 20" R95 which is the barrel length I am looking at, but in stainless. I have a Rossi 92 in stainless and it still looks like new after 11 years without much cleaning on the outside except a quick wipe down like once a year. With these new high prices we are paying today for lever guns one would expect to get decent accuracy, but I think the 30-30 caliber itself is inherently limited in that dept. although my old Marlin 336 JM was almost a tack driver at 100yds even with open sights... but I have shot friends' newer (Remi) 336 that were not as accurate as the old JM 336's, so I am pretty sure a lot of it has to do with the quality of the barrel and how it's crowned.

    Exellent video, i have the same rifle, try the 160 gr but didn't work, i buy today the last 7 box of core lockt 170 gr in my country, that work just fine for wild boar and axis deer. Hornady ammo use to be very strong but giveme problems of accuracy in several calibers, 22mag 243, 6.5x55 and 30-30, watch the residue left in the barrel they use some diferent gunpowder

    Thanks for the test I also have the R95 I've got a box of the lever revolution 160 grain but I haven't used it yet I may not like it looking at your results!! The blue box 30-30 has been good to me also!

    Guessing but the Winchester ammo would be the best buy I would think? For the money that is..

      @@Randy-rdss thanks for watching, actually the Federal Blue Box was the cheapest. Winchester would be the second cheapest but the Winchester xp ammo is reported to have terrible performance when shot into a deer. The bullets fragment and do not retain there weight causing some animals to be lost due to the performance. However the Winchester power point does very well so I might try those yet.
