By golly and shucks!!!!!! Y'all are going after something that just ain't there! JarHead shot twice and got hits. Maybe it is the bullet ant maybe it is the shooter. The 30-30 has probably killed more large game in North America than all the other calibers combined. It is a slow moving hard hitting round....regardless of the bullet type. My suggestion is this, shoot them in the 10-12 inches of the neck that extends from the shoulder and your game will always be right where you squeezed the trigger. They don't run off and make you HUNT them again.

It has worked for me for the past 30 years and I use a little ole .243 with 100gr soft points on deer and elk. Success every time.
