Very good point, Eric. Thanks for mentioning it.Originally Posted by Eric in NC
For the sake of argument, I was trying to make my point by comparing three different types of bullets.
I was not trying to imply that ALL 30-30s had to use round nosed bullets, especially today, considering the newer 30-30 loadings available. Because you are using a bullet with a higher BC (due to the more "streamlined" shape of the projectile) it has more energy at longer ranges (than the round nose bullet) because it is still at a higher velocity than the round nosed bullet with the same weight and diameter at any given distance.
I think it is very nice that I live somewhere where I can have the rifle and caliber of my choice (which may or may not appear logical or stupid to others) just because I want to.
