Dadgummit. This thread got me wanting a .243. I had one and it just kept going through my mind, "If on some chance, Mr. Big steps out, would it be enough?" Mr. Big never steps out for me, but I went to .308 not too long after.

On the distance I like to walk to my stands: “The first 100 yards is also the last 100 yards.”

30-30 will kill any thing in North America you will encounter as long as range is limited to 150-200 yds. Moose and elk I'd keep it under 100.
If I agreed with you, we'd both be wrong.

Ive had good luck with the 95gr hornady sst. Same. I shoot the tikka as well and although I haven't found a bullet the gun dislikes (Core-Lokt, Fusions, Hornady SST), it seems to like the Hornady best. Don't get into the shoulder if you want a pass through, though.

Maybe Brent M will come along and post some of his 85gr TTSX kills. It's impressive to say the least.

Maybe Brent M will come along and post some of his 85gr TTSX kills. It's impressive to say the least. 80 grain. My rifle wouldn't shoot the 85's worth a flip. The 80 grainers will cut one in half though.

The 95 grain Winchester ballistic tip has been bomb proof for my family over the years. From 50-350 it is deadly. I'm sure there are better bullets out there, but those Winchesters have been around for a while for good reason.
