Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Will a 30-30 kill a deer

Bullet technology has come a LONG way since the 1890’s, that said, it hasn’t improved so much that the 30WCF/30-30win can effectively kill deer. Many will try it as a stunt, but it requires getting extremely close to the animal and competently placing a very tricky shot. Not many shooters are capable of such a feat. Better to stick with something with lots of knockdown power, like a 6.5 Creedmoor.
