30-30 is it still being used today or am I the only one still using it?

Shot a 170lb feral hog with my Mossberg 464 3 months ago. Did the job, hog only got 30 yards before dropping,

I love a 30-30 lever gun on hogs. They swing beautifully, so easy to stay on target while reloading, and the 160 grs Hornady over 35 grs Leverevolution has been hugely effective. I really think the only more effective rifle on hogs will be when one of the new cartridges for the AR15 actually delivers 30-30 ballistics and, even then, keeping it as light as a 20" Win 94 will be a serious challenge.
