[QUOTE="SBSATS, post: 4215412, member: 53681"] If you reload and already have a 06 and 30-30, simply download to a point where he can handle either one. The biggest problem is too many think you have to have 3000 fps to effectively kill a deer. The "true" secret to deer hunting is perfecting your deer hunting skills and getting closer or allowing the deer to get closer. Out of over 50 deer in my life, my longest shot was 130 yards, which more than doubled the next. 99% were under 40 yards. A 30 cal going 1800 fps will give a pass thru and good blood trail at 50 yards on a broadside shot,even with a cast bullet of 150 to 200 grs. Just based on my experience of 50 years, the biggest problem I have seen is with fast explosive projectiles that, although they will kill, some don't pass thru, leaving a inferior blood trail. Shot placement and short distances make for consistent meat on the table. [/QUOTE]
