Get a .30 Carbine M1.
“”Get a .30 Carbine M1.””
That’s the one caliber I’ve never owned in a rifle but I do have a couple of the old 3 screw Ruger Blackhawks chambered in it. My favorite pistols for varmint size game. The factory 110’s are OK for most applications but I shoot 90 grain Hornady XTP’s for varmints. I get just over 1800 fps from a 7 1/2 inch barrel. You’re still going to have the flash and noise the 30 Carbine is notorious for but it’s a better setup for a pistol. I’ve never shot that load through a rifle but I suspect the velocities would be surprising.
