My SA acquaintance recently tried the Hornady FTX (160 gr.) in his favored 30-30 Marlin and found their performance quite satisfactory on game at various ranges, plus he remarked the accuracy improved over the 170 gr. If you plan to reload, Hornady’s 265 grain jacketed flat point, followed by Speer’s 270 grain Gold Dot, Barnes’ 275 grain offering, and then several 300 grain bullets including the Barnes’ JFP, Hornady’s XTP, and Sierra’s and Speer’s 300 grain JFPs may be good options paired with an appropriate powder.
