Hmmm. That must not be one of the "new age" deer that will absorb a .300 Weatherby Magnum and walk away.
Good shootin'

Over the years I've seen my share of guys loose a lot of good meat do to over gunning or using those high end over priced super bullets.

I've seen premium bullets from powerful calibers go right through deer without opening up......cshold wrote:Thanks.mikld wrote:Hmmm. That must not be one of the "new age" deer that will absorb a .300 Weatherby Magnum and walk away.

Nice deer, but that 30-30 is no 38WCF! We will have to wait until next year now! I am guilty of the same offense.
My old friend says if you tap the Cor-lokts tips against the receiver and flatten them a little, they really let the deer down. Looks like it wasn't needed!

My son's favorite loads for my 788, every deer he's killed fell to one of those.

Re: 30-30 Still Works :-)
CS, I understand. I have 3 generations of deer rifles and only two rifle tags. Last year I let the 32 Special out and it worked well also.
Your 61 is a fine looking rifle, it deserves some use.
