Default 30 30 for deer

Reading a Charles Alshiemer book and came to a section where he was talking about deer rifles and he stated that he felt the .30 .30 and I beleive the .35 remington cartridge wer poor choices deer. His arguement being that they didn't produce enough energy. I haven't had time to look at any ballistic charts and compare them to the each other and to other cartridges, but I used a .35 rem for years with terrific results. As a kid If I hit one or both of the shoulders, usually trying to angle into the lungs but broadside didn't matter, most deer I shot didn't even go 10 yards. So what is everyone opinion of the 30 30 and 35 rem. Enjoy, Juniorpc.
