Great deer picture.
I have a question since we are talking about 30-30s. I know that there cannot be much difference between the 150 and 170 grain loads but am just wondering if by and large do the 150's penetrate all the way through on close range broadside shots? I am planning on starting out with the Federal powershoks because my 336 is shooting them pretty well.
I have never killed a deer with a 30-30 and am going to try one this fall. To the OP, I have read on Marlinowners that the 150 grain Winchester powermax hollowpoint is the "nastiest" 30-30 bullet out there when it comes to tissue damage. You might want to check them out if you want to use a hollowpoint.....but I have no firsthand knowledge of them.
