PlusP+ 185s in the Colt print pretty close to the sights at 100.... you just have to concentrate.

The 30-30 can definitely be made to shoot well. It's what started me handloading. Advertised factory MOA is 4" (I think?) and mine wouldn't even do that. Was in college at the time in a statistics class for Manufacturing Engineering. Did a final paper presentation on improving the accuracy of that gun using handloads. Don't recall my grade for the paper but considering the lib teacher acted like he needed a bomb shelter as soon as I began talking about ballistics it probably could have been better
Shrunk the group down to 1/4 the original size of the best factory load in the study
