When I lived in Hanover, NH, from 1986 thru 1990, I used the 170 grain Remington RNCL 30-30 bullets in a couple of Remingtons and several different Savage rifles chambered in 300 Savage. I thought that it was an excellent bullet for whitetails, as it was very accurate and it opened very quickly. I'm 99% sure that if I was back in ME, NE, and VT shooting deer with a 300/307/308/30-06, 170 grain RNCLs would be high on my choice of bullets.
