RE: 30-30 the #1 deer rifle
What Red said sounds realistic to me, especially given
his 1st hand knowledge of the modern sales numbers.
I thinkwhen youtalk about total numbers of deer
killed since the advent of modern cartridges the 30-30
would (from everything I read) be hands down the #1
cartridge. Given it's use during times of subsistence hunting
and no closed season or limits (or ignoring of them) it will
probably take a long time for the "all others combined"
catagory to catch up. Giventhe increase in options,I
suppose it's possibleit never will.
