re: .30-30 Winchester. Why so unpopular now?

The .30-30 is not a good caliber for 200+ yard shooting. It'll do it, but it shouldn't be asked to do it.

Try and at least quantify why. I mean Hornady makes ammo that puts 200yds easily in range with more than enough energy for a clean kill. Hand loaders have been doing it for years. Explain, using actual facts and numbers and not the "sage" advice someone else told you. Until I see someone post some numbers then all you have is hearsay which doesn't mean shite with rifle ballistics.
