I've taken several deer at ranges between 200 and 250 yards and one at 314 yards with a reciever sighted model 94 .30-30. None of those deer traveled more than 70 yds. after bullet impact and none required more than a single shot. The one shot at 314 yds. was a complete passthrough just behing the shoulders on a broadside presentation with a 150 gr. Remington core-lokt factory load.
