I won't shoot pass 150 yds with my 30-30.Not because of the energy factor but because my 30-30 is equiped with a williams peep sight.I can hit a milk jug everytime out to that range.After that the bead covers to much of the target. If I used a scope I would shoot out to 200 yds.
Now that everbody has stated their opinion, how far has everbody shot a deer with the 30-30.My farest was 80yds.
