RE: 30-30??
I like to use mine here in Florida where the woods are very thick and the shots are usually less than 75 yards. I have killed alot of deer with this gun and havent lost one yet.
Farthest they run is usually no more than 30 or 40 yards. Most drop alot quicker. I wouldnt use it in areas where you'll be shooting consitantly over 100 yards.
