The owner of a deer camp I used to go to called the 30-30 a "sharp stick". When I asked him why, he replied that if you were looking over a large clear cut with one in hand and there was a nice deer on the far side at 300yds, you might as well be standing there with a sharp stick in you hands. smile

He was right.

That can be said about any bow, handgun, or rifle chambered in any cartridge where the target is “out of range”. There is a limit to a person shooting any of them.
