Well, since the 30/30 has been on its way to obscurity and obsolescence since probably some time around 1903, and the fact that my preferred system of measure has been proclaimed "dead" since I was in the sixth grade, I'm abandoning that tired, worthless old has-been (both of 'em) for a more up-to-date round that kicks some butt in the field.
According to this fella (among others), the 7.62x51R is the berries and should supersede my weakly old antique round by a fair margin.
I know Hornady didn't (re)invent it, but I figure I'll give someone else a shot at grabbing the "latest/greatest" title.
It supposedly is also still workable in my obsolete Contender, from way, way back in 1967, so I will stick with that platform until someone reinvents it too.
Just pokin' fun of the whole thing here, not anyone or anything in particular - all of "IT" and all of US.
NOTE that I don't load like the linked author is known for. His guns, his loads - I use mine and mine.
