It aint that anemic

Here in Colorado, a centerfire rifle cartridge has to have at least 1,000 ft-lbs of energy at 100 yards to be used on big game. .30 Carbine has 626 at that range.

By comparison, the lowly .30-30 (considered quite a slowpoke these days) has 1,357 ft-lbs of energy at 100 yards.

Yes, it is that anemic.

My Marlin 30-30 lever action is one of my favorite guns. It might make favorite if someone else would pay for my ammo LOL

an H & R Topper chambered for 30-30 is a right handy rifle.
