The reality is that indside of 100 yards, the .30-30 will knock large Whitetail Buck down due to the shape of the bullet--------- Ballistics or no ballistics; Boddington or no Boddington.

The reality is that I have shot through brush and killed deer at 45 yards and so has my brother more than once. I no longer take these shots but I did when I was younger.

I will happy to give you the name of the Butcher we use for processing our venison if anyone so desires.
