RE: What is the best bullet to shoot out of a 30-30???
The best bullet to shoot out of a .30-30 is the one that is already in the chamber!
Why do we worry about a bullet having enuff speed out of a .30-30 at 100 yards, but don't worry about the same bullet when shot out of a Super-Ultra-Double-Magnum at 500 yards? Probably about the same speed.
In my mind I see:
.30-30 @ 100 yards = .300 Win @ 200 yards = .30-06 @ 300 yards = .300 Win Mag @ 400 yards = .300 RUM (& other SUD magnums) @ 500 yards. If this is true then the same bullet can work in all at the given distances.
Hunting is a right, treat it like a priviledge - respect nature
