Mack in N.C.
Old Mossy Horns
Lets hear your pros and cons on each. I have both and if I could only have one it would be the 30-30. I do like the 35 for its wider bullet but that is it for me.
compare a 170 gr 30-30 vs a 200 grain 35 and though the 35 starts of at the muzzle at 1oo yards with a little more energy than the 170 30-30 at 100 yds the 170 gr 30-30 has surpassed the 35 in energy. this is in most factory loadings
core lokt
.35 Remington
.......... Velocity Energy Trajectory (based on 100 yard zero)
150 grain bullet:
muzzle... 2300... 1762... -1.5
100 yd... 1874... 1169... 0.0
200 yd... 1506... 755... -8.6
300 yd... 1218... 494... -32.7
200 grain bullet:
muzzle... 2080... 1921... -1.5
100 yd... 1698... 1280... 0.0
200 yd... 1376... 841... -10.7
300 yd... 1140... 577... -40.0
.30-30 Win.
150 grain bullet:
muzzle... 2390... 1902... -1.5
100 yd... 2040... 1386... 0.0
200 yd... 1723... 989... -6.9
300 yd... 1447... 697... -25.7
170 grain bullet:
muzzle... 2200... 1827... -1.5
100 yd... 1895... 1355... 0.0
200 yd... 1619... 989... -8.3
300 yd... 1381... 720... -29.9
ammo is a lot easier to find for the 30-30 as well.
I am keeping both but if I only could have 1 it would be the 30-30
