Would a 30-30 be better to hunt white tail deer than a 30-6?
I read somewhere that more deer have been taken with a 30-30 than any other gun. I couldn’t tell you where I heard that, but it just comes to memory. The 30-06 will be far superior for longer shots and larger game if you ever plan on doing. That that being said, I like the 30-30 because it is a versatile round that gets the job done for me, but I usualy hunt a stand over a feed plot and i’m only shooting a max of 60 yards with an old winchester lever with iron sights. Been a great gun, and that round has been large enough to stop any deer or hog I’ve ever shot with it. If I was to ever plannning on some type of hunting with long range shots, I’d trade in my 270WSM ( I HATE IT) and go with a 30-06 The 30-30 is also a lot easier on the old shoulder.
