Title: Finally!
Post by: seth30 on August 15, 2019, 06:40:03 PM: After years of getting skunked finally put it together. Biggest bear I ever saw outside of a zoo and nailed him at 32 yards with a 30-30 using 170 Fed Gr.

The 30-30 is just a wall hanger and a historical peice.

Nicely done and even better that the 30-30 scores again!

It has very similar ballistics to the 7.62x39 AK/SKS round.

30-30 is a fantastic round. Definitely built for west side hunting.
