    I had excellent performance with my Marlin 336 in 30 30. Rem 150 gr Corelock. Also bagged a nice 180 pound hog in Texas with the same load and gun
    Shot my best buck last year with my father's Winchester 94. My cast bullets. I was impressed. My son used his .270 to take his first buck that evening. Still need to tuck the brass in next to his headstone.

    I think that might be the perfect gun/round for Indiana deer. And nice buck!
    I had 23 acres with steep ravenez and a 70 yard **** was long. That deer I shot at about 35 yards. The 13 years I lived there I shot abou 10 deer and none of them over 50 yards.

    I like the 30 30 and thinknits well suited also. Thought about the Marlin 1895 in 45 70 as well down the road

    This will be my 2nd season with my 450 bushmaster on an AR platform, hoping to actually see a deer this year.

    An hour ago was hanging out with May Bell on the back porch watching one watching us. She's prone to thinking bigger than her claw size but I'll give her an "assist" and some fresh liver when the time comes.

    My 6.5 creedmoor. 2nd year with this barrel hasn't been blooded yet gonna be sitting it on the tripod in the blind and just relaxing. It'll flat shoot so if something comes out it's going down we're running low on meat
