.30-30 AI, .35-30, 38-55, none of them makes any sense to me. The .30-30 does what it does, kill deer in the timber, as well as it can be done. If I wanted more "thump" or range I can take my .308 or .30-06. I've used those two plus a .35 Rem., 44 mag. and 12 gauge slugs to kill many deer in the timber. Never noticed that any of those killed them any better or any deader than my old .30-30's.
