One publication puts it: _According to Winchester, the light, fast-handling Model 94 has sold more than 7 million copies and when sales of other rifles chambered in .30-30 are thrown in, it is one of the most successful cartridges ever._ _And 125 years after its introduction, it's still enjoying success. According to gun writer Chuck Hawks, the .30-30 ranked fourth in centerfire rifle ammunition sales in the U.S. in 2015. According to Todd Sarotte, manager of Van's Sporting Goods in Brandon, .30-30 ammunition sales are still strong at his store._ Another publication: _Vista Outdoor, which manufactures both Federal and Remington ammunition, reports that .30-30 ammo is still a big-volume item. The cartridge consistently ranks in or near the top 10 in annual ammo sales due to the sheer number of lever-action rifles out there and still in use._ _While rounds like the .270, .308, and .30-06 have felled more whitetails than the .30-30 this century and over the past 30 years for that matter, you've got to remember that the .30-30 has been around and dropping deer for 125 years._

About fifteen years(?) ago while in Moose Jaw Saskatchewan. Another gun enthusiast and myself got voluntold to disassemble then clean & reassemble a good friends 30-30 Model 1894 rifle circa 1923 birthdate. With good screwdrivers we tackled this task with success. But boy oh boy those stepped screws were butter soft steel! Not a task i wish to repeat. However this fine 26 inch barreled rifle with full length magazine was first purchased by his great grandfather. The Mullins family were settlers in the Cypress Hills. His ranching/farming ancestor bought it to hunt elk in the high stands of alpine black spruce. Apparently close range neck shots filled the larder for many years. And it was said, often only one shot required for each harvest. Thank you Brobee for another excellent demonstration of your fine families shooting-hunting prowess! 😉

My uncle who taught me to hunt on the Western Slope of Colorado always told me it was all shot placement. I lived in a small town in Delta County. He had only one rifle he used from the time he was 12 until his passing. It was an old 30-30, break open single shot with a 24-inch barrel with iron sights. He only used hand loaded 110 grain spire point bullets. This was load was at the highest velocity which I won't mention. He killed so many deer and elk in over 60 years, never lost one, almost all were one shot kills. Great video.

@jerroldshelton93673 ай бұрын
Who'd have thought the .30-30 would do that at .310 yards? Me. I started off as an 11 year old kid in 1976 with a Marlin 336 in .30-30. Since then, I've used other rifles and calibers, but when I saw the potential of Hornady FTX ammo in 2006, I started gravitating back to the .30-30, eventually selling off my other center-fire rifles, which were basically going un-used. The deal for me was that the FTX ammo and duplicate handloads allowed me to hit a 9" gong at 300 yards reliably and that was a big deal for me personally because the farthest I've ever taken a shot at game in 47 seasons of hunting was 278 yards on a California high desert mule deer. I can manage the trajectory of the FTX ammo to 300 yards and I know that I'll have around 1,158 ft/lbs of energy when it gets there, which is enough to insure sufficient penetration while still achieving 2X shank diameter expansion.

I think that's the main reason we were ok with the FTX at long range - actually counting on its softer construction for some expansion at low velocity. At close range I feel like this is a liability, but an asset the further out you get and it's shape sure helps you get it there...

A very respected but oddly underestimated cartridge. People forget that at the time it was introduced the 30-30 was indeed considered fairly impressive in terms of range and capability. My first deer was with Model 94 at about 30 yards, the deer ran into the thicket and in a big half circle came back out and expired on the path behind me. My father had to follow the blood trail around just to make sure it wasn't a tall tale! As far as use on big game within reason, I don't see the issue. In fact, I've found that using a cartridge with potential exceeding the hunter's proficiency can lead to a false sense of proficiency. You don't need a 7mm mag to shoot 100 yards and you have no business shooting at a living creature at 500+ yards unless you're starving or truly are an expert marksman. Anyway, great video and THANKYOU for keeping the tradition alive for our future generations!
@Brobee2233 ай бұрын
Love the half-circle story and the deer dying on the trail. Like your comment around proficiency...it's hard to replace experience/skill by simply moving to a bigger hammer. But the good part is I find all that practice to develop/maintain skill is almost as much fun as the hunt itself!

I love your videos, thank you for sharing your journey. I'd seen this one before, but I had something special happen today, and had to watch your 30-30 hunting videos again. I was helping my brother clean out his storage and found that he had my deceased uncles old Winchester model 94 in 30-30. I've been wanting a wood stocked lever gun for a while, but couldn't justify a $1000 spend that also comes with the expense of a new cartridge. He'd had the rifle for over 15 years, and never shot it. It had developed quite a bit of surface rust. I gave him $200 for it, and can't wait to bring it back to life. I have other guns, but this is the one I plan to use for my close range medium game hunting from now on. Thank you for inspiring us to use our old cartridges and rifles to their best with best practices! I'm amazed that you dropped an elk at that range with this round. Elk is suck good food for the whole family.

30-30 can do a lot - Hunting is quite about shot placement vs power too.
@Brobee2233 ай бұрын
Have had good luck with it over the years; think that lots of practice has played a big role there too. Thanks for your comment!

So cool that you stuck with the ol trusty 30-30.

Awesome ballistic reviews--and shows the 30-30 is still a viable choice. Nice presentation! JX

@Brobee223 have you ever considered handgun hunting? Not a lot of people do and would love to see how you would go about it, gun ammo selection thoughts and other things on the topic

My dad gave me his pre-64 model 94 30-30 some 30 years ago.He shot many deer with this gun. I thought I might want something with more power. However this gift from my dad is still used every nov.

This video made my day.. thank for sharing this with us. The 30-30 Win has taken al sorts of game over the years and stated by others Shot Placment is a big part of a successful hunt.. most people when i tell them that my hand loaded 12ga slugs are about 1200fps they say thats not fast enough to be effective.. well the 3 doas and the 8 pointer i have taken with them never complaned... The Hornady 170gr is a very nice bullet.. i have made reduced loads 2500fps for my 20" barrel 308 Win give very nice accuracy but have not had the chance to use it on game... Congratulations on the successful Elk Hunt and the harvesting of the deer as well and big Congratulations to your daughters successful harvest with her great grandfathers rifle.. that is very cool to hear about.. The more i watch your videos it gives me more confidence to use the more simple things.. my 12ga shot gun.. a 30-30 win or my 35 Remington... I am fortunate to have some very nice and $$$$ bolt action hunting rifles but for the hunting i do the 35 Remington or 30-30 Win is all i would ever need for a rifle.. and my 12ga hand loads have been very good for me as well... Be well

I don't believe in reducing a powder charge and using it for hunting it's not ethical and when you lose velocity you change how the bullet expands therefore you may not make a clean kill

In tester-years I made some reduced recoil .308 loads for my daughter using the 160gr FTX loaded to 30-30-ish velocities. It worked GREAT! Thanks for your comment.

First time watching one of your videos and absolutely loved your testing / results with multiple ammo / bullets. I too love the 30/30 and will be very interested to see what Hammer Hunter Monolithic bullets do in comparison. Have this video saved for reference when I get to that point. Again....loved the video.

Greetings from the south Okanagan, thanks for the video. As a boomer who has been blessed to hunt a fair bit, I'd suggest those who don't understand the capability of some cartridges both lack field experience and aren't clear on the mechanics of the process. The shot placement on the cow was perfect, well done. Nice to see a full freezer, filled by a family. Stay well all.
