This guy produces some pretty good videos. I thought this one was pretty interesting. 340 yard elk cow with a .30-30 and Hornady 160 grain FTX and [gasp] a Leupold scope. Kill at 20:45.
Not many people could do that, most shouldn’t even try. Any gun will kill most animals. Bullet placement is the name of the game. But most hunters don’t put in the time to be excellent shots. Reon

That this yahoo pulled it off does not mean 99% of folks toting a .30-30 should try. I bet he could not pull it off again.
Not sure why you call him a "yahoo." The guy very obviously put in a lot of work testing different loads with a chronograph (including at the target), testing terminal performance of different bullets, and becoming proficient with the rifle. And produced a very good and educational video without all the braggadocio or high-fiving normally inherent in such videos. That's 180 degrees from "yahoo," and that's how it should be done. As someone who is working up some loads for my own old .30-30, I really appreciated it.
