Lever Action Supreme

Great points

I know this isnt traditional as the old style levergun but I actually dont mind the looks of this one or even the Smith 1854. Both calibers this one comes in are great choices for reloaders and buying cheap ammo. Ive played with the 300 blackout and its a fun little fella.

Al, I've never played around with the BO, how does it compare to the 30-30?
Better bullets I know, but ballistics wise.
Does it have a realistic advantage?

300 BO was really designed for the AR platform. It doesnt have the punch a 30-30 does but its simple to load for and cheap to shoot. H-110 at about 18 gr is all you need for the case which is a shortened 223 and necked out to 30 cal. I had fun with it but it fell victim of to many guns I dont shoot.

Its appeal is in its cheap versatility. Brass is inexpensive, IE you can make it from 223. It can run bullets from 110grns to 230 grains. It can be had in 1:3 twist for solid copper round to all possibilities up to 1:10 for jacketed lead.

You can load the 110s up a bit, and the 230s down to subsonic levels for shooting suppression.

That's most of what I shoot 300blk-wise. Suppressed subs make for great hunting rounds out to about 140 yds.

I probably won’t be buying one of these either as the price of this gun is around 1200.00. I don’t think I want one that bad

I agree, in the above photo, I like the tri-pod way better than that rifle.
I'd rather drop $1200 on an antique Winchester of Marlin than something that resembles those.

I have a Ruger American Ranch bolt in 5.56 ,that also takes ar mags,that does everything that the Henry Supreme does for less than half the price.

I have an AR in 300 BO, a factory Ruger that is pretty lightweight. I was surprised with the felt recoil to the point I bought a slip on Limbsaver thin pad for it. I only shoot supersonic using the Speer 125 gr TNT at max load. As Big Al mentioned, it really likes max velocity to be accurate, at least in my rifle.

I got miy 300BO in and it does take the 63b base or the 2 piece bases that are the same as for the Marlin lever action rifles.
The gun shoots good and so far I have shot Hornady 110gr Vmax and 125gr Nosler out to 100yds. I have some Barnes 110gr Blacktip that I will try in the future along with the Hornady 110gr SP. I may try some 100gr Plinker bullets along with some subsonic loads in the future.
It's a fun gun to shoot and shooting 1-1.5" groups due to my abilities, but I know it is capable of better groups. I haven't tweaked any loads yet.
