Hi.

“What states don’t allow a .30 caliber for deer hunting? “

Don’t know at this point in time.

States change their game laws (season, bag limit, sex etc) each year. I’m just telling the forum that what I posted is my experiences in hunting various states.

If you have experience in harvesting game, you are probably familiar with your state’s game rules and regulations.

Thanks for asking.

5.56mm

The AK-47 has about the same power of a 30-30. It's just a little better than a large pistol. The .308 or 30.06 OTOH, will go through a brick wall or a 10 inch tree.

There has been more deer killed with a 30-30 than any other rifle. The 7.62 x39 wouldn't be my first choice, but it will kill a deer. I wouldn't try a shot more than 100 yards however.

I suspect that the places that ban a 7.62mm are those who require a short-range firearm due to hunting areas being close to population areas. Don't want a .30 caliber over-shoot going for mile or so and possibly landing near human habitation.
