Check the ballistic tables. The .30.30 & the .44mag are 100 yrd guns. Beyond that their effectiveness drastically drops. gg.

Malissa , It's not a question of how far they will go but how well you shoot it . You mentioned 100 yards, if that will be your maximum range, give or take 50 yards, i feel either one of those rifles would be a fine choice. I've taken many deer with the 30-30, my longest shot ''in the hardwoods '' was 135 yds. and that deer never knew what hit him.

Check those tables one more time. The 30-30 has more energy at 300 yards than a .357 mag at the muzzle. The max killing range is based upon shooter ability as much as cartridge power. If you can hit a 8 inch target from 250 yards with either caliber than take that shot. That's the size of the heart lung area of a deer and if you hit it you will kill it.

Although it may not be 'optimum', I have shot a lot of deer past 125 yds with my open-sighted model 94 .30-30. They couldn't read the ballistics tables though and that rifle was all that I had to hunt with. Now that my eyes aren't so good, and I'm better edjumacated, I would probably limit my shots with that rifle to 100 yds.
