When I was young, the old-timers believed that 30-40 was an excellent deer gun at ranges beyond the range of 30-30. Then the 30-06 became the hot item, but it is louder, kicks more, and is too powerful for short range.
My dad used a sporterized Krag for a deer rifle. Lyman peep sight and 150 grain Silvertips. Always filled his tag. I shot my first deer with that gun.
