I have a bud that has a 12" 30-30AI...Works great and shoots accurate.
Don't worry about efficiency.
It is performance I am looking for.
I would prefer a 14" barrel, but if a 10" gives you the MV you are looking for-buy it!
125 NBT works great with the 30-30 whether it is a 10" or 14" barrel.
Easy to get brass and easy to get dies or factory ammo...Kind of a no-brainer, unless you just WANT the Herrett.
If so, get the Herrett!
I use 10-18" specialty pistols in all kinds of chamberings.
Some are quite intense.
I have been told don't do this, because it is not efficient-Get what you want!
