I wouldn't hesitate to take a 200 yard shot.

At 200 yards the plain old Remington Core-Lokt soft points retain 858 ft/lbs of energy with the 150 grain bullets and 989 ft/lbs with the 170 grain, so without the *gay* Hornady LeverRevolution bullets I don't think I'd personally want to go much past 200, since medium sized CXP2 class game animals generally require about 800 ft/lbs of energy from a .30 caliber bullet to do a predictably adequate job. YMMV.

I know from experience they will kill at 150yds, never shot one further than that with the 30/30 but I would feel pretty comfortable at 200 with it.
Anything worth doing, is worth doing right, or it's not worth doing at all!

I have never killed a deer with a 30-30 but my dad is old school and has the same one he bought a week after he got home from Vietnam in 68.He has killed many at 200-250 yards and several coyotes.I think what matters is the same thing that matters with any rifle and that is knowing your weapon and what it is capable of.I have a 22 that I drilled the eyeball on a coyote at 75 yards with but it's because I grew up with it and made many shots on everything from crows to possums with it.
Psalm 27:1 The Lord is my light and my salvation,whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life;of whom shall I be afraid?

I'm on a mission this year. I've been having my 30/30 for about 20 yrs and never killed a deer with it. I am goin to hunt with it this year until I kill a deer with it. No scope just iron sights. I'm goin to be shooting the 170gr corloks

Anybody remember the hunting show where a guy was going to take every N. American big game animal with his Dad's old iron sighted 30-30? I remember him killing a moose, and possibly a grizzly, but never saw it again. I am curious if he ever did it, and if anybody remembers who it was. If I am not mistaken, that was John Wilson.
