So, I'm shooting calibers now that don't wreck me, like .357 in a couple of 1894Cs, but I can't help but think that there are .30-30 loads out there which can bring recoil down to the .357 level and remain effective enough on deer to be usable out to 100 - 150 yards...
Plus, I've been looking at a couple of Winchester 94s a friend has differently than I ever did before (never owned one, never really grabbed me)... somehow these are really appealing to me... dunno... maybe I'm maturing

Anyway, I looked into commercial loads and the only reduced recoil one I could find is a Remington "Managed Recoil" load that looks like this:
125gr Core-Lokt PSP, 2175fps MV, 1313ft-lbs ME
What I'm wondering is... will this punch like a .357?
I really hate this whole situation and line of questioning... makes me feel like a real p**sy... but it is what it is. I'm a young man with the right shoulder of an old one.
Anyway (ego-whining done
