The .30-30 is more about the platform than the cartridge. Nothing I've tried packs as easily on a horse as a Model 94. The .30-30 shoots flatter than pistol cartridges and packs enough punch for most anything. Earlier this year, I ran into some coyotes and dropped one at 100 yards and the other at 175.
A .30-30 case AI'd and necked down to 6 mm would be an interesting project, but I don't have that much money to waste.
