RE: 30-30 for deer
Good Luck. The Remington Pump 30-06 with five 200 grain Nosler Partitions also makes a great back-up gun. The guide I hunted Bear with says thats all he will carry. That or his Pump 12 gauge. He has had a few bears come back to life on him and for him, the pump is by far the fasted thing he can shoot real well.
