I get the 22LR, but I think the 30-30 is a bit out of date. Or is that just because I've been out West for most of my life and you just don't see them? 270, 300 Win Mag, sure. I did the deer hunting in the eastern woodlands with a 30-30, but that only lasted until I was 15 and acquired my first 30-06. Not popular like it once was, but sufficient with the right bullet for most everything on the continent, so I never got around to switching over to a more popular western caliber.

But even the old 30-30 if sighted in properly can do good service in the west when it comes to food instead of trophies.

I've got no overall beef with the 30-30, just haven't seen one in so long I'd about forgotten they existed.

Well you might be hunting in a plains state where 250 yards is considered close range or you are a newbe that is falling for every new "state of the art" cartridge they come out with to get you to buy a new rifle instead of just using the totally serviceable rifle your father or grandfather left you.
vtsnowedin wrote: I know of no new product that does not fall inside the range of the slowest to fastest, lightest to heaviest, of the old classic calibers.
Take the 6.8 Western for example. It uses heavier bullets then the traditional 270 Win can stabilize, using faster twist barrels but if you need that bullet weight going that fast you could just buy a 7MM Remington mag and have a lot more chance finding ammo at the local hardware store.

Well, I gotta give both you and the wife props on that one. My wife is resigned to it, other than when she asks occasionally about how much one costs, "oh that one is pretty" and doesn't like the answer.

December 21, 2022
Pioneer Natural Resources’ CEO Scott Sheffield, one of the most outspoken industry executives, has indirectly explained to the White House that shale drillers will not be drilling more and that is it. And he had an excellent reason for it...
These investors have been watching for years how shale drillers burn their cash in order to turn the United States in the biggest oil producer in the world. Then they had to watch all this breakdown in 2020 with oil prices dropping below zero for the first time in history, even though the drop was a short one.
