Yeah, same here. They've been making bullets for the .30 WCF for nearly 130 years now, they've got them figured out. I don't see the point in "premium" bullets for whitetails, anyway.

Well there are places where the gooberment says you can't use a cup & core and a mono is it or nothing. Thankfully my state hasn't got that retarded yet.

Have either of you actually looked at that specific Barnes 150 gr that's designed specifically for 30-30 velocities? The hollow point is a freaking cavern and they are a sledge hammer.
