If it were possible to go back in time and document every whitetail deer harvested with a rifle, I’m willing to bet the .30-30 Winchester would be mentioned more than any other cartridge.
It is the quintessential American deer round, serving generations of sportsmen and many more to come.
Like thousands of other hunters, a .30-30 was my first deer rifle and I will forever have an attachment to this beloved classic.
