RE: 30 30 for deer
In some peoples minds if it does not say magnum behind it, it is not worthy of anything. I have seen deer shot by the .35 rem & 30-30 (shot one deer myself from a 30-30). The only one that traveled far was of fault of poor bullet performance. There has been numerous calibers that were desinged to retire the 30-30 but they have all been retired themselves. On paper the 30-30 does not look like it is worthy of much but it does the job. How could anybody question 100+ years of dead deer and full freezers???
