In my experience 30-30 performs better than 308 on deer, but I prefer using 308 rifles. Do they make a 308 round that looks like and performs like a 30-30 round with the flat head?

With the thordsen stock does it have more recoil since the buffer tube is not connected to the stock?

No one knows?

I came across this article http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/370733/manufacturers-change-look-ar-15-rifle-now-legal-new-york-state-charles-c-w-cooke that they now have NY state legal ar-15's. Does anyone know who makes these? I am wondering if they are made by reliable companies like smith...

Does anyone actually know what caliber round he was carrying?

I saw the video where the Indiana firefighter shoots his neighbor 4 times in the chest and he lived and even walked away. Does anyone know what kind of caliber gun or ammo he used? It didn't seem very effective and I want to avoid it.

What brand 308 ammo has a flat nose like a 30-30? I haven't seen that around.

150 grains, and standard FBI distance from gel block.

Does anyone know of the difference in size between a 30-30 bonded soft point and a 308 bonded soft point or hollow point after going through a gelatin block, which is bigger, or are they about the same?

Are you referring to the regular soft point 30-30 rounds or the 308 bullets handloaded into a 30-30 case as doing the "jump/kick, run, begin to wobble and fall over with 25-75 yards"?

I couldn't (respectfully) disagree more, I have seen plenty of deer get shot right through the shoulder and run 100-200 yards or more, often into thick brush making tracking difficult.

Of course it will die, any deer shot will die eventually, but there are many advantages to a deer dying right where you shot it as opposed to it running off into the brush.

In alot of those videos they say the yardage and ammo type.

What has been your experience shooting deer with a 308? I also wonder although 30-30 and 308 use the same grain bullet, they are of a very different shape with the 30-30 having a much flatter head, and I wonder if that allows for better expansion?

I just added some youtube links as examples of what I mean.
