Will a .30/30 kill a whitetail deer??
I don't know. I hear they used to use them a long time ago but today's whitetails are probably a lot tougher that they were in the 1950's. And do you eat ice cream when you go to hunt deer? If so what is your favorite flavor?? I'm thinking vanilla cause I like it. Can you buy sprinkles at the grocery store??

A regular 30-30 will bounce off of these new deer.You need at least a 30-30 Magnum.

No you can not get sprinkles, they are locked down due to China virus. Eating ice cream while deer hunting will get the po-po after you The 30-30 can not, even with the perfect shot, kill a 2020-2021 season deer. It is too common and old to do the job. You must have the latest flavor like the 350 Legend (in its own mind)

the new favorite deer round here in mississippi is the 300 win mag, seriously. personally i like a .22lr, doesnt bother the neighbors too much.

30-30 is barely adequate for shooting pigeons in a barn. 458 Win Mag is marginal for deer.

I will have to give up my 12ga with 2 3/4 sabot slug loads. Does any company many a 10ga 3 1/2 mag slug gun? I have my doubts about the recoil though.

Since I have seen taken with a 22, thou a few years ago, my best guess is a 30-30 will do bring down a deer. That is if you hit the poor thing.

The latest in deer killin, don’t head off into the woods without one. They are a bit tough getting into a tree stand

.338 Lapua is the appropriate cartridge. Front to rear.........rear to front. DRT............already made into sausage.

SC deer can out run a 30/30. Not enough velocity .

When it comes to using OLD guns, the older the better for me! This nice doe went down with a .44 diameter round ball of lead! DRT without any tracking required.

You killed a deer that was out sledding!!!!! Don

No and neither will a 270 Winchester. You must have a belted magnum to properly kill a deer and you never want to get any closer than 500 yds from a deer, on the ground or they will kill you, that is why its best to hunt from a tree. Deer are scared of heights.
This all common knowledge Ricci I am surprised you asked this question.

I love these threads. Some of you are a hoot.

An undetermined number perhaps in the thousands have succumbed to the wee little 22 LR.

It worked when I was a kid and the the deer and I didn't know any better. Now if you don't have at least a 300 gee whiz bang super magnum you might still get a deer but it would have to be jackrabbit size. Bob

I use a magnum but it is a 357, about the same ballistics as the 30-30 under a 100 yards, have gotten buck last 3 years with it.....
but as the 30-30 goes not sure it would even kill a live leaf, maybe one of the dead crumbly ones.......

It might be argued successfully that a .30-30 is just about the perfect deer round for an actual deer hunter, but not for some kind of sniper wannabe mangleum rifle owner using Hubble optics.
In fact, the humble thutty-thutty has neatly and humanely harvested a cubic trainload of deer in its time.

Well, the 8 point buck, down on my grandpa's farm in 1962, would argue the case that a 30WCF would do the job! My first deer with my first rifle (Winchester Model 94 Carbine). No ice cream, but I think I might have had a Honey Bun with me! 🦌

I tried to sight mine in at 100 yards, but the bullets kept bouncing off the paper target!

If you want the deer to expire just by having the bullet pass within ten yards of it, then no, 30-30 will not do. If you neck shoot exclusively (learned it from WDM Bell) as I do, 30-30 is more than enough. Sorry, not looking to offend anyone by these comments.

Absolutely not. UNLESS someone picks it up and uses it properly.

...Yes a 30-30 will kill deer, and a lot of other things. I used a 30-30 Marlin for years...out to 150 yards it should do the job.
I started using my 06 after they started making small grain 06 rounds, If I remember, 180-185grn. was all you could get in 06 for a long time, too big for a 100lb doe foe meat. A heart/lung shot w/a 30-30 works fine out to a 125 yds or so ...🙂
