RE: .30 carbine
that's all my dad ever used to hunt with. He swears by it, but I feel it's a little underpowered.
I do know that he won't use it if he doesn't have lead tipped bullets. He says the full metal jackets won't expand enough, and he doesn't trust them for hunting.
I've got several, but I haven't seen any for sell recently. Everything I see for sell is FMJ.
