Anyone got any experience using a 30-30 on whitetail at 200 yards or so ? I would be using factory 150 grain loads(probably Rem corelokts).Although listed close to 2400 fps expect it is actually going about 2200 fps.
Know what the round will do at 100 yards and less ,dont need quotations from ballistics tables as I have those, just needing some REAL world experiences with bullet performance at longer ranges.
Can't help a bit on whitetail never shot one that far with a 30-30, howsomeever tho... I have killed muledeer, antelope and elk at 200+ yds with the 30-30 and 150 gr bullets, and it works just fine.
I saw somewhere thru this that you'll be using a scope and that will help with accurately placing the bullet. And if you do some actual field shooting with that combo you'll find that putting the bullet into the kill zone on a deer at 300 yds isn't out of the question.
