I believe i'm going to purchase a 30-30 winchester (Probally in a marlin). I'm hunting in Maine where there is a lot of bursh but there are a few clear areas. what is the effective range of the 30-30 for deer? i've herd 175-250 yards. But i think you guys will know. also is the 30-30 a humane choice for moose? shots under 100 yards.

thanks for your help.
