Mossberg’s 464 lever action .30-30 with a Barranti Leather butt-cuff, XS Sights and XS Lever Rail, and Hornady LeveRevolution ammunition.<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A lever-action rifle makes for a fine general purpose, hunting, or defensive firearm. There are also some accessories you can attach to make it even better. Maybe one of the most important is ammunition. After all, the only thing hunters carry to the timber, that actually comes into contact with his quarry, is the bullet.<\/p>\n

Innovation with the most common lever-action cartridge – the .30-30 Winchester – languished for a long time because hunters were abandoning it for more modern options. Hornady<\/a> changed all this with their LeveRevoultion<\/a> ammunition that utilized soft, pointed tips. These tips let bullets with higher ballistic coefficients\u00a0be loaded into tubular magazines. With their more aerodynamic shape they\u00a0flattened trajectory and increased impact energy. Their latest MonoFlex<\/a> LeveRevolution bullet\u00a0combines\u00a0the technologies of the GMX<\/a> and FTX<\/a> (soft tip) design, giving\u00a0lever gun shooters the high weight retention advantages of a monolithic bullet.<\/p>\n

Here are a few more suggestions; stuff I’ve used and can vouch for. You might like them all, some, or none depending on how you want to use your lever gun.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
