The .30-30s I've got

I've got a 1950's production Winchester 94 in .30-30, and I've got this Marlin in .30-30 AI with a scope on it. My eyes not being what they used to be, I prefer hunting with the scope rather than the original Winchester buckhorns... so the Ackley gets the nod.

I suspect that, for me, the performance gains wouldn't be worth the price of admission if I was looking at running an AI reamer into an unmolested Marlin. I think the cartridge just appeals to me because it's a little weird, and a handloader-only proposition.

For some reason I like that.
