My friend tried the 30-30 ammo this year during wiscosnin whitetail season. It took 3 shots to down a whitetail. On skinning he found 2 bullets disintigrated just under the hide.
To be honest he was shooting at about 100 yds and it's possible the bullet hit some very light brush on the way to the deer.....but isn't that what 30-30 hunting is all about??
He put it back on the shelf and went back to the good old rem 170 corelocks.
I've been loading the barnes 30-30 fn hp for another buddy. He's taken about 10 deer since they bullet came out......all pass throughs. We fell in love with them because they are super accurate and we found bullets in the sand behind the range at 100 yds that had perfect mushrooms and near 100% wt retention after pounding into the backstop.
