I think that there is a common misconception that the 30 WCF is a 100 yard cartridge.
I agree with you, and I didn't mean to imply that it was limited to that range. I have killed deer past 200 yards with the .30-30, but I guess what I meant to say was that if I'm hunting terrain that has the possibility, and probability, of a shot that far or further, I have better rifles for that.
You oughtta try that 77/44. Addictive little rascals, I have one and love it for the thick stuff.
