Henry 30-30 accuracy?
Hello neighbors,
I have a Henry X in 357 magnum and I am very happy with it. I am now considering a 30-30. When I search the internet for accuracy of the Henry 30-30 the results are not encouraging.
I am looking at the H009G or maybe an X model in 30-30. What are you guys getting in the real world for accuracy?
BTW, I do handload and shooting nothing buy my own cast bullets. Right now I shoot a Lyman 311041 over IMR 3031 in my Savage 219 single shot.
Thanks for your replies and any suggestions.

Re: Henry 30-30 accuracy?
I have 30-30 rifles, but none are made by Henry, so no help.
I picked up one of the new Rossi R95's in 444 back at the first of the year.
It's a Trapper model with the 16 1/2" barrel, and I like it a lot and have had thoughts of another in 30-30, just because.
I'm sure that someone here has one, but off the top of my head I don't recall.

Re: Henry 30-30 accuracy?
I just bought a x version of a henry 30-30 for suppressed use. I've shot a bit of supers through it and the accuracy was good. All five in the space of a 50cent piece. Subs, did a bit better, but that might be the less felt recoil.

Re: Henry 30-30 accuracy?
Ha, I just shot my 375-rebore. I used the swaged .375 bullets in 38-55 cases.
That being said. 30-30 is a lot of fun also.
Really, you can't go wrong with either.

Re: Henry 30-30 accuracy?
Howdy!
I have a H009. The accuracy is okay for me. I have a peep sight on mine. I would probably do better with a scope. Yet, I like the look of the peep. I guess that it is a matter of what you would to use it for. I got mine as a backup for hunting. So far, it has been used as fun! At any rate, happy shooting!

I have both and H009B and H024 (gated) in 30-30. I have no complaints with accuracy within 100yds. I haven't tried beyond that.
My favorite factory ammo is Federal Fusion. My reloads are with Leverevolution powder with Hornady #3035 and Sierra #2000, both 150gr bullets.

That's right! Nutria body shots out to 100yds or less. I haven't missed one yet.
