Hey guys, I'm new to this forum and I've never been hunting before, though I would really like to. I know that for deer I want to get a Marlin 336C. I can't think of a more handsome rifle to harvest game with. What is the best ammo for whitetail, 150 or 170 grain? In Wisconsin, deer ranges can be anywhere from 20 to 150 yards, but are usually around 70 (this is what my friend told me). Also, I was wondering if the Cabela's bulk re-manufactured ammo is worth the buy. It would be great for practicing and getting good with the Marlin, but is it good for hunting? Has anyone had any experience with it?
Why is the Grizzly 170 grain 30-30 ammo so expensive? What makes it better than the Cabela's?
Also, would a .30-30 be an adequate elk or moose cartridge using standard 150g lead-tipped bullets, supposing you were a very decent shot?
And is it really true that if you shoot an animal and it runs away before dying, that the meat will taste bad?
