Hi lads,

Is 30 30 lever action ammo hard to find? Have my eye on a gorgeous rifle but worried it will be hard to feed!

Do you mean lever action specific ammo, or just 30-30 ammo?

The only type of ammo you should not run in a lever action is Spitzer[IE pointed] ammo to prevent a possible magazine detonation. Flat-nosed, and round-nosed ammo is fine and most brands make a version in that calibre.
