RE: 30 30 for deer
Love my 30-30! I can think of about 50-60 whitetails that didnt like it much though! Got it in 72. Have killed deer with 30-30, 30-06, 270, 7mm mag, 44 mag, flintlock, inline, recurve, compound and crossbow.
The 30-30 is my second choice right behind the compound. All the othersfight for a distant third place
