[QUOTE="Livetohuntandfish, post: 189185, member: 5010"] With most factory ammo you only have enough power to out to that distance to make a good kill. I’m going off of 1200 ft lbs of energy. And I’m saying that as a estimation. Some rounds are a little over and some round way under Effective range is like 300 yards. They drop like a sob but I wouldn’t think twice at shooting something at 200. They know it’s not a popular rifle and I understand why, but for me it’s my favorite so that’s what I shoot a lot. If I need longer range I’ve got about every other caliber needed. But just for the sake of conversation I mentioned the 30/30. Because around here I rarely have an opportunity to shoot past 200. But could be me to. I’ve seen many a hunter shoot at a running deer at 500 yards. But then again I don’t see any hunters hunt anymore outside of their pickup. But ethics is a conversation for another topic......... [/QUOTE]
