As to 30/30 being chambered in expensive rifles - there are a number of $3,000+ bolt action rifles with $2,000 scopes chambered for this old ctg.

Amongst cast bullet shooters, there are a HOST of poorer choices & the old .30/30 is becoming more popular all the time.

Each to his or her own, I guess.

Given the modern Leverevolution ammo with both bullets and powder available to hand loaders currently, being able to drive a 165gr. pointed bullet with decent BC out of a 24" .30/30 at around 2,300fps - to maybe even 2,400fps, changes the 'tune' of this old blister.

The round's old reputation, built perhaps by 170gr. flat nosed bullet running 2,100fps or 150gr. flat nosed bullets at 2,220fps out of carbines, no longer has much value today, unless you stick with that 'old' ammo.

Like the 'old' .45/70, it's a whole new game now, thanks to Hornady and Hodgdon.
