    FN CBs for straight-tubed mags not as efficient as spire points beyond 200yds

    The spire point makes an efficient firing pin in a tube magazine

    Everyone knows a .30-30 is hopeless past 25 yards.
    But it is OK to shoot deer with a 300 mag out to ranges where it has the energy of a .30 carbine

    I shoot nra lever action silhouette matches and in the big bore game I use a 30-30. I hit the 200 meter rams with no problems. We shoot standing, unsupported with open sights on the clock.

    I have a couple scoped Marlin 336’s and have no problem taking a 200-300 yard shot if the situation is right to harvest the right animal. Now for target shooting I’m sure it can be pushed Quite a bit further.

    The poll is flawed. I've done a LOT of shooting at 750 yards with a 30/30 and if you get the dope right, as with anything, you can lay them in there.

    As Scott has already stated. It depends on who is shooting and what skill and experience levels they have developed with that cartridge and rifle.

    Accuracy is one thing.... the 30-30 can ring steel at 50 yards with practice and good rifle and proper conditions. However, hunting efficiency range shoul dbe no more that 200 yards, at which point they're fine for small deer with proper placement. [I] limit my shots to more like 100 yards.
    Salvaging old Marlins is not a pasttime...it's a passion
