What is the longest one shot kill that you have made with a 30-30?
I can say that I've killed several deer at ranges under 100 yards with my 30-30, and they didn't get more than 20 yards from where I shot them. But I have stepped off 128 yards for another fella with a scoped Marlin 30-30. His big-mammi doe went a whopping five yards from where a 170 grain slug tore through her chest cavity. Massive blood. I would feel comfortable shooting out to 200 yards with a scoped Marlin 336 and traditional round nose bullets. What has been you folks' experiences?
