Who is Ron Spomer
For 44 years, I’ve had the good fortune to photograph and write about my passion - the outdoor life. Wild creatures and wild places have always stirred me - from the first flushing pheasant that frightened me out of my socks in grandpa’s cornfield to the last whitetail that dismissed me with a wag of its tail. In my attempts to connect with this natural wonder, become an integral part of our ecosystem, and capture a bit of its mystery, I’ve photographed, hiked, hunted, birded, and fished across much of this planet. I've seen the beauty that everyone should see and survived adventures that everyone should experience. I may not have climbed the highest mountains, canoed the wildest rivers, caught the largest fish, or shot the biggest bucks, but I’ve tried. Perhaps you have, too. And that’s the essential thing. Being out there, an active participant in our outdoor world.

In reality, I don't think anybody comes down to 300blk vs 30-30 and decides based on ballistics. Hunting with one of these is a function of choosing the style of rifle, not the round.
There's nothing wrong with the old 30-30.
The 30/30 is so good that manufactures are always trying to knock it down for one reason or another. I’ll keep my Marlin in 30/30 regardless of what you so called experts say. I like it and it’s a great whitetail cartridge.
I am now 65 years old. I remember being about 8 years old and my uncle talking to my father about his 30-30 and how sorry he did not buy a 30-06, the 30-30 too weak etc. etc.etc. Today I hunt with my uncles 30-30 which I inherited along with his 30-06 that he eventually purchased. I can honestly say, I have never lost a single deer with that old Marlin and I am still using the same ammo that my uncle purchased when he first got the rifle and never used. Guess what it still goes bang and the deer still go down. The 30-30 will outlast every single person living on this earth today and they will be still talking of the demise of the 30-30 when we are all gone.
The 7.62x39 has been doing the same thing since the 40s
Cartridge aside, I've just never had an interest in an AR style rifle of any kind. I'm 57 and from my first Red Ryder to my current Marlin 336 I just prefer ease of carry of a lever gun with iron sights. Don't mind a bolt action too much if I need to reach out with precision . I find the AR types clunky and the large mags get in the way . But of course to each their own, I just love the old time classics .
Hornady 30 30 leverevolution is a hell of a round. Modern powders have really changed the game.
300 HAM’R competes very well against 30-30!
The 30-30 will never go away
I wonder why nobody compares the 30 30 and 300blk to the 300 Hamr?
I'll stick with the good old 30-30!!!!!! There is just something about that nostalgic lever action that makes me happy.
7.62x39 is already there , and there is tons of cheap surplus out there still
7.62x39 is a much closer comparison. But a 30-30 with modern powders and bullets steps it up another level.
I have a pre 64 Win 30-30. Great gun for short shots in thick brush. My dad shot many moose with it.
I used some Leverevolution powder for the 30-30 with a 150gr Hdy RN. Found a happy accuracy node and the chrono average was 2445fps. This was from a Henry, 20inch barrel. Groups average .5". This load has taken hogs, a few deer. For a 100yd cartridge, it works fine.
I've harvested 22 deer and1 bear with my 14" Thompson Center Contender 30-30. Leverevolution was a game changer and extended the range to 200yds. Honest. It's been my go to for 40 years. Many Coyotes with the 223 also.
I use the 7.62x39 works fine but still love my 30/30
I have a bolt action 30-30 with a 24" nicke-steel barrel. I load 5-10% over and it has outstanding performance and increased accuracy. Also, being a bolt rifle I use spire point/ballistic tip bullets.
We used .30-30 and .25-35 Winchesters at the ranch when I was growing up in the '60s. We had lots of pine and fir woods and I liked both these rifles for mule deer when I was a kid. I'd really like to see a new and very good bolt action rifle chambered in .30-30.
First Lever action in 30-30 was the Winchester Model 1894. The round was introduced in 1896. They're still shooting.
