Winchester Chambered more that 8 million 94 in that cartridge. Marlin would add another 2 or 3 million. It just works. These days almost all of my deer hunting is in the hardwood wood lots of CT. A long shot here would be 50 steps. A 30-30 is plenty cartridge for that purpose and I personally would not think twice about shooting an elk with one. And they are light and well carry one for a week or two before you throw rocks at the window. This year it seemed my old 7 x 57 was needlessly powerful for the task.
