has anybody taken deer with the Hornady Lever revolution using the 30.30 round? I have been using the traditional soft tip bullets and am wondering if the Lever revolution ammo works?

You'll be better off shooting hollow points, particularly anything over 150-200 grains. The hollow points will allow you to do with less time what other's can't, which is take down deer quicckyl in brush without looking for them all over. The meat will still be good, but the impact shock will be far better.

The Lever Evolution is good ammo. In the 30/30 it has about 250 fps more velocity and considerably more energy than standard factory rounds. The bullet performance I have seen from the round in 30/30 and 45/70 was excellent. There is also an increase in recoil for both rounds.
