I often hear that the .30-30 round is marginal against bear and critters of the sort. I wonder what the combination of 170 grain, Hard Cast, Flat Nose with a muzzle velocity of 2200 FPS would do against large animals like black and brown bear, moose, and other large animals. Any experience or sound input on this?
Thanks....
ADDENDUM:
This would not be for the purpose of actually "hunting" for or "in search of" a large animal. The thought was more on the lines of a saddle gun, camp gun, etc. and used for defensive purposes. And, I am assuming "defensive purposes" would be within 50 yards.
