The .30-30 Nobody Wants (But Outkills Everything in the Timber) video by Jacob Miller.
Summary:
Frost on the rail.
Forty yards of timber.
A buck steps out of the laurel, and the rifle in your hands is a .30-30 that nearly every modern ballistic chart says has been obsolete for decades.
The charts aren't wrong.
The .30-30 drops harder, carries less energy, and gives up long-range performance to cartridges like the .30-06 and 6.5 Creedmoor.
But a South Carolina wildlife biologist recorded 603 shots at 493 deer, and his results suggest we've spent a century measuring the wrong thing.
