The new Winchester 400 Legend straight wall cartridge matches 30-30 Winchester performance but is legal in straight wall cartridge states.

Zeroing a traditional 30-30 load at 160-yards maximizes point blank range, but a 50-yard zero might be more effective in tight cover where shots are no farther than 120 yards. Sight-in high at 100 yards for most versatility.

Best 30-30 Zero for Deer Hunting depends on where you hunt.

Are 22-caliber rifles suitable for deer hunting? Can the 223 Remington, 22-250 Remington, 220 Swift, 22 Hornet, 20 Nosler, 224 Valkyrie or any other 22-caliber shooting .224” bullets effective for hunting big game? Ballistics, energy, range all investigated here.

The little 300 Blackout cartridge delivers 30-30 Winchester performance with a third less powder and less recoil.
