I have harvested a truckload of cow elk with the 160 grain FTX bullet for the 30/30 outta a pre war 300 savage 99.

There is no doubt in my mind a bolt action 30/30 handload could not be very similar in preforming at 200 yards or less.

The factory Lever evolution would preform most excellent on deer IMO.
