Ballistic tables

The point I am making is that I enjoyed having a 30-30 lever gun, but it was just one of many. It was not my choice for anything but screwing around.

If I was going to buy one rifle, it would not be a 30-30.

Just my .223 worth.

The point I'm trying to make is that there is no ballistic advantage to having the latest .300 eargosplintenloadnboomer cartridge over a 30/30 at the 100 yards or less that the majority of deer are killed at. That is fact.

Personal preference will dictate what each of us carries into the field, and was just trying to give some help to the original poster.

I understand, my 30-30 dosen't come out of the safe as much as it used to (it was my only rifle in my teen years but now I have more toys than I know what to do with heheheh) but I still take it on hunts with me but mostly as a back-up or a loaner.
