Congrats on the buck. Nice photos and story. I have a couple of MGM barrels and they shoot great. I like shooting anything based on the 30-30 case. I have a 7-30 waters and a 30 Herrett and love shooting them both and have had the bug to buy a 30-30 AI and I think you have added some more fuel to the fire. Thanks for posting your load data and will save for future reference. Good luck hunting on the other ranches. Tough job but someone has to do it. You ever need help let me know....:)
