No matter what the State says is a acceptable cartridge for harvesting big game on private property. The land owner has the final say. i.e.>Who is allowed to hunt and with what.The .30Carbine (not FMJ) rnd.is a legal deer hunting cartridge thru2020 on private land. What has TFL used for a MAXIMUM100 yd.shot with today's factory loaded ammo?
the .300 BLK ....... would be infinitely better suited for deer vs. the .30 Carbine.

Well since I own rifles chambered in both Carbine and BLK, I have a pretty good idea of what both can do. I don't know why you're so confused, go check Hornady's web site and you'll see why the .300 BLK is better by more than a little.
With that kind of ethical standard I'd suggest more than a 300 Blackout.What that means for the Hunter is more shot opportunities since they can take shots at more angles, and don't have to wait for a broad side shot

A couple hundred FPS isn't going to make a questionable shot ethical.
LOL my Inland is a 3 on both chamber and muzzle and still shoot good enough for that.I would say that your .30 carbine would be hard pressed to hit it.
Not sure about that, several folks put deer in the freezer with carbines and don't have to take the abuse from a slug gun.At the ranges that it was effective, he would have been better off with a shotgun using slugs (less than 100 yards).
