ORIGINAL: Phil from Maine

I'm curious as to what some think a 30-30 will accomplish at close distances that a .243 won't that would pick it instead? If it's more effective up close it should be more effective farther out as well, you would just have to aim a bit higher is all.
Here with all the old cuttings growing up means alot of brush to shoot threw. The heavier lead will go straight threw without much veering off. The lighter quicker bullets appear to veer of course when shooting threw this stuff.
I've read that this is just a myth.
