Hello everybody,
I'm trying to find a gun that will do lots, and my most recent pick is a new, 580 series ruger mini 30. I'm going to be hunting with this gun, and i'm worrying a bit about how effective the x39 round is for animals such as deer and wild pig (which i might hunt in the future). I live in the northeast, CT specifically, so long shots are few and far in between (heh...pun) but about how far away would you feel confident in the x39's ability to drop a deer, if at all?
Thanks,
DS
