Sounds like a good round for bow like ranges. Doesn't have much energy even at the muzzle and with the low speeds it gonna need a bullet that performs well at under 2000fps. Sounds like a good brush gun. I like the idea of using it as a pistol in firearm restriction areas. Seems like it would really shine there. I wouldn't really compare this round to the 30-30 though because it has more velocity and energy then a 300blackout
