So, you would like somthing more powerful, but your shots usually only allow you 50 to 100 yrd.

When I first started reading your post I was going to suggest a, 243. I don't know if you have ever owned one or taken deer with one but at 100 yrds or less it does the job very effectively on deer.

Back to the power issue, your 30-30 is a good gun for what you are wanting, try a soft point with 180 gr.

If you really want to change guns look into a 30-06 or a 7mm.

save your self some money and try experimenting with other 30-30 rounds.

Good luck!

KEEP HUNTING THE GREAT OUTDOORS & GOD ALIVE, PASS IT ON!
