    I am n the same boat . I like the .30-30. in fact if I could have only one rifle that would be it. but every time I take one out I see nothing except for one time I had a real rifle and hit one at close to 200 yds. the other deer I have got was a .303 enfield then a 30-40 krag with cast bullets a 92 Winchester .38-40 .45muzzleloader. they all dropped dead with one shot. the one that went the most distance was a front to end shot with the .30-40. with those results I have no trouble using a .44-40 for deer. this year I am going to use my uberti 66 winchester repro. in .44-40.

    Deer season is over for me and Bear season will soon be, but I would like a dollar in the bank for every 30-30 that went hunting this year. What a great old cartridge!

    Yes!!!!!! It's perfect in every need !! Ol Deuce

    When I was in High School a friend took aim shot his deer! it was app 100yards. when he got to his deer there was 2 down!!! that 30-30 plowed through the first and with enough energy left to take the
    second!!! that's the 30-30 Ol Deuce
