hi ya all get myself a new 336ss looking to test it out with factory ammo any ideas what to buy and try 1st. Gun to be used on pigs and goats.

Hi Lapua.
I have found my ss really likes the new leverevolution ammo.
we have used it on deer and javalina so far with really good results.

Sounds good when I get a chance I 'll buy a couple of boxes and also try win 170 silver tip as well ... please send me a pic of your 336 mate if you will.lwest@westnet.com.au[IMG]


http://wwwfreetohunt.blogspot.com To see my 336ss

I will second the LeverEvolution suggestion. I have been using them for a while now and have killed 4 deer and 4 hogs with them, and they performed flawlessly.

They don't shoot as well as Winchesters and Federals in my older 336T, but in my new 336SS, the accuracy is SUPER.

Great Jeff looking forward to buying some when back home they cost about 32 aussie buck per 20
so not cheap ,knowing they will shoot good saves me having to reload etc.

What kind of accuracy do you need? Wal-Mart has ammo for less than $10/20 that shoots well enough for big game.

Wal-mart does not trade out side of the USA mate

First of all, I would like a definition of accuracy that is "well enough for big game"?

I personally don't shoot LeverEv ammo for accuracy but for TERMINAL PERFORMANCE on game, which in my experience is lacking in the cheap stuff. I had two instances of "bullet failure" in 2005 once using Winchester and once using Federal ammo, and since then, I have only used LeverEvolution.

lapua,
if you reload? then i use the speer 170g hot core with a dose of 32.5g of ar2208. devistating on pigs and donkeys! shoots nice too. bout the inch off the bench
