Took the 94ae out for a wee hunt today.
Using Speers 100gn plinker and shotgun powder I got three items for the game bag for four shots.
The best shot was a 30yds head shot rabbit.
Gotta love a 30-30.

That's a very versatile rifle with your reloads, well done my friend... 
If more men loved and cherished their wives as much as I love bacon the world would be a much better place.

Re: Small game hunt.
I didn't know they were still making that Pinker bullet. Used to load them in my '06 years ago just for plinking. It was the 110gr jhp that I'd hot rod for groundhogs, wreck a whistle pig in the blink of an eye!
Then I tried them on prarie dogs and all that was left was pink mist!
Bet Jess was happy to be out !

An internet buddy here in the UK sent them to me when I put a call out for unwanted 308" bullets!
I don't know the velocity of these on 8.5gn of Herco.
I've used Speer 110gn hp and soft points in the past.. somehow the 110gn hp can be a pain chambering in a Winchester 94.
Jess was happy yes.

Nath, have you still got a Toz 66 ? I have just got a Toz 63 like new for 75 quid.

I'm not familiar with a 63.
Googling now....

Re: Small game hunt.
I had a Toz 66 a while back but as one reviewer stated it took eleven men and a dog to cock the darn thing.. 
happily the 16 gauge has a lot lighter springs.

It's probably very easy to remedy with a little stoning away some spring width.

Re: Small game hunt.
Fabulous hunting load . . . I'd like to find a plinker load for my 336. Do you think RB might work? I have a #1 buck mold that I could try . . . should be around 45 Gr . . .
Re: Small game hunt.
Hmmm, give it a try. I'd stick to 100gn or more.
Many years ago I tried some 80gn bullets but it wasn't very successful.....

Re: Small game hunt.
Thanks gents.
By way of an update I tried .5 of a grain more today in my small game load and it's just about going super sonic. Certainly closer to regulation sighting wise.
No pressure sign yet. May try a pinch more soon.
