serious damage it turns a bad shot into a good shot.

Nothing turns a bad shot into a good shot except practice, practice, practice

I too have seen serious damage from shots that where just inside the kill zone. I think its the combo of heavy slow moving soft bullets that dump alot of there energy in the animal giving the cartridge its knock down thump.

thanks a lot for the help guys. There's some good sounding suggestions here.

Why don't you invite the Kid Hunter for whitetail hunting this year,and let him use your 3030/20 combo.

I've shot the Winchester 170's from Walmart and they seem to shoot fine although I havn't shot anything but paper with them yet.

Check out Canadian Tire, Good selection & Cheap. 150 yds with a 30:30 is about as far as you would want to shoot. I'd try to stay closer to 100, Good Luck! My first moose was with my 30:30 at 80 yds. Knocked him on his *ss, through the heart, open sights, man was I pumped. One of my first solo hunts.

Yes I agree, I was just saying I'd like something that could shoot further if I needed it but I would prefer to shoot at 20 yards if I could, especially my first time.
