Yeah but,...I
want one! I've been considering chopping a 38-55carbine to 16"-18" or so for a carry gun. At the very least, it would be very handy, and
cute.
The older Lyman manuals showed the 250 gr loads running at about 1800 fps or so in their data. Seems like an improvement over the 30-30 for places where larger critters hang out. The reports I've seen from those that shot larger game with them (moose etc) with good loads seemed to generally give complete shoot throughs.
