RE: New Hunter - 30-30 WIN Questions
From what I have been told, the silvertip is the more premium bullet over the powerpoint. My dad used one to kill an elk with this year and it worked beautifully. Yes, the 30-30 can kill an elk or other larger game. But is it the best choice? Nope, there are better rounds out there that are more suited to larger game. With the 30-30 you would definately want to be within 100 yards of an elk or moose and shot placement would have to be spot on. Remember, the 30-30 was the round of choice for many years and took many many game animals and still is to this day. It is a great deer round and is still getting the job done even when there are bigger, better and faster rounds out there today.
