I took a small whitetail buck at a few steps over 200 yards with a 117 grain factory load in my .25-35. It went maybe five or six yards before it keeled over. Haven't hunted deer with a .30-30 since I was a young teenager, but if the .25-35 can do it, the .30-30 should have no problem!

Some days it takes most of the day for me to do practically nothing...
