The 30-30's no different than any other rifle. It has a limit to it's capabilities and it takes a competent shooter to use it correctly. It's no different than a boob thinking he can shoot a deer at 500 yds with a 7mm Mag but who isn't capable of doing it. Any rifle is a wounder if not used right.

“In a time of deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act.”
― George Orwell

It's not over when you lose. It's over when you quit.
