∙ 12y agoMy brother and I have been trying to answer that question for a while now with my Marlin 30AS in 30-30. Based on my internet research I don't think there is an official record but once in a while around the gun range you'll hear about incredible shots that hint at the possibilities. My brother and I have been trying to push the range as far as possible, our goal is to put 3 rounds on a silhouette target at 550 yds. So far the best we've gotten is 2 out of 5 rounds at 400 yds and that was a little luck. A 150 gr Hornady Levereveloution bullet will reach 500+ yds but the problem is the bullet drop which at that range is nearly 20 FEET! And I don't know of a scope setup that you can use on a Marlin lever gun that will give you that kind of compensation. If and when we do hit 500+ yds with the 30-30 you'll see the video on YouTube but I'm not posting anything until I have an unquestionable video I can post to prove it. My brother who is also my spotter is in Afghanistan for a while so I'll have to wait until he gets back. SEMPER FI!
