I picked up a 30-30 barrel for my Thompson Contender last year, I might try using it if conditions are right. This will make you have a new respect for the 30-30! It is a blast to shoot, and with a good rest it's fairly accurate. I'm thinking about trying some of those hornady lever revolution bullets in it next time I'm at the ranch. They just might do the trick.

They just might do the trick. My Encore 7-08 15" barrel with a Bushnell Trophy 2-6x would do 3/4" at 100. That is the only barrel that makes me regret selling the whole setup. Also, make sure you wear hearing protection shooting that 30-30, even while hunting. The 14" 30-30 nearly deafened me after two shots while pig hunting lol.
The secret to a long life is to try not to shorten it.

I have a lot of weapons I intend to get a deer/hog with this year. If I get around to it ill be using a Ruger Blackhawk 7.5 inch barrel in 45 colt, throwing 240 grain sierra hollow cavities over a near max charge of IMR 4227.

That combination is damn hard to beat, carry mine in a cross draw that way you can bend and get in and out of the truck with no problem's.
Yes! A Weatherby does kill them deader.

I switch back and forth between these two, Desert Eagle .44mag and S&W Performance Center .44mag. Have taken Whitetail, Mulies, and Antelope using handguns. Longest shot was at 200 yards, most are less than 50 yards.   I like that Smith.
