re: The old veteran 30-30

Why would anyone want to shoot a cartridge that was developed in the 1800's and can't be factory loaded for modern guns because someone might plug a round into an old gun and blow it up? I guess the thought of shooting grandpa's gun is appealing.
Some people realize that it doesn't take a 300 WSM or some similar cartridge to kill a deer. If you never shoot at deer over 150 yards, there's no reason to own any other caliber really. It kills deer dead. All that being said, a 30-30 really isn't about the cartridge, it's about the rifles they are chambered in. They are short, light, and handle well.

For stalkers and brush shooting, it would be counterproductive to move around with a bolt gun. A bolt doesn't really start to shine until about 150 yards.
How many Louisiana deer are taken at 200 yards? 300 yards? 1 in 8? 1 in 10? Even from a stand, most shots are 75 to 125 yards - at most.
