I've hunted with a 3030 for 20 years. Great caliber. If you have a lot of open space in your area look at the Hornady leverevolution bullets. Accurate with a 3030 to 200 yards easily. Mine shoots 3" low at a100yards with standard loads. I have mine sighted in for the leverevolution reounds. My son has dropped his 2 of his last 3 in their tracks.
