I never said no one had to aim a shotgun so I will not be defending that bit of wrong conventional wisdom.
Hooah. I'm a righty, but I still prefer the Mossy's safety, too.

The Reload Bench says Some say the 7.62 x 39mm is equal in power to the .30-30 Winchester but this is not quite true. Although heavier bullets can be loaded in this cartridge, velocity is quite low since it was designed to push bullets from 120 to 125 grains to just over 2300 fps. In other words, no 7.62 x 39mm load can equal the .30-30 when its loaded with a 170 grain bullet.
In other words, those who claim similar power levels are being disingenuous.
