[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 2791657, member: 15054"] Ye old 30-30. gets to be known as the 100 yard brush gun. I did not underestimate my 30-30 after talking with old timers. I found I could stretch her legs to 300 yards and then some to kill our Oklahoma whitetails with 1 well placed shot. I load for my friends 30-30 model 94, his likes federal brass 35.5 gr varget with 150gr flat nose. he has out shot his dad a couple times on paper at 200 yards.. His dad has a 30-06. Both guns average around 2-2.5" at 200 yards.. matters who is having the better day. My 30-30 was getting a scoop of 3031 and the 150gr bullet and leaving the barrel at 2200fps area and it has taken many deer one out towards 300 yards. Double lung and they do not go but maybe 40 paces. If you get good at shooting and have a scope and the gun is 1/2 way accurate you can have a ball making empty cases to reload. My 30-30 had an old redfield widefield fixed 4 power scope on it. It has a 3-9 on it now [/QUOTE]
