We got the deer up several hours after the shot though, bayed it up, and finished it off…..He made a really good shot but the gun and bullet choice did not preform well at all in that situation.


I had a couple runners with 150's back in the day (seemingly larger TN deer) and switched to 170's and that pretty much ended it. Swap up to a 200 in .35 Rem and that gives even a bit more oomph in my experience. You can't quantify it on paper just shoot a couple deer with each and decide for yourself or take my advice and save yourself the trouble.


No government employees were harmed in the making of this mess.

Goatkiller you're wrong. The 30-30 makes 2 times the power (3 if you shoot powermax) as a .35 Rem. The deer I shot with the .35 laughed at me before throwing the bullet back. .

I heard that the SOCOM snipers were switching from the Barrett 50 bmg to the 30-30 with power maxes.

I know that can't be true because deer lack opposable thumbs necessary for throwing. grin

I’d have to put the figure from 40-200 animals per year depending on if its what I feel like using that particular year. This is across the United States on all kinda critters. Give Powermax a whirl, I won’t even ask for an apology.

Post Script: that figure above ^^^^ is with the 30-30, it could be up to 1000 animals with different calibers, bow, and spear, per year. I am a lucky man. I killed around thirty boar hogs this year using 410 Brenneke slugs from a 410, all one shot drops. This stuff is how I entertain myself.


I just saw this... I wanted to respond, but I realize now that I'm in the presence of greatness.

Truth be told, it knocked me out so I don't recall much about it. I guess it could have been a squirrel tossing a Powermax green pinecone.

Heck, y’all can’t get me flustered. I might not know much, but I know Powermax 150gr 30-30 is the best 30-30 round.

I’d love too but I’m stingy when it comes to Powermax 150gr 30-30

The 35 Rem is best suited with LeverE unless you handload.

I hope so too brother or I’ll have to bend it on a ranch hand bumper and throw it in the dumpster.
