Not saying it is ethical to shoot at game this far with a 30-30 or any caliber for that matter. Game animals deserve a whole lot more respect than that regardless of caliber. But for those that think the 30-30 and the leverguns for which they are chambered are for the uneducated think again. This certainly portrays what is possible with a good levergun, ammunition the rifle likes (just so happens to be Hornady LeverEvolutuion), and good optics. Of course it helps if the person behind the trigger knows what they are doing as well.
