Just asking this more from a curiosity standpoint than anything else.
I was looking through some of my reloading manuals and started reading up on the 7-30
waters. In seeing the load data, it is really not than much different velocity wise than the 30-30 Winchester with close bullet weights. (within 100 fps for most)
So my question is, what gives this bullet it's CHARM to so many folks.
The 30-30 is so close to it with comparable bullet weights and can be loaded with heavier bullets
if needed, I would just see the 30-30 as a better choice? What are your thoughts on the subject?
Use a single shot as the weapon of choice to take the pointed Boat-tail advantage out of the equation. (I think most factory 7-30 rounds are flat point though?)
