Yes/No. If that isn't clear enough for you here it is.
I shoot a iron sighted 30-30 marlin in heavy brush at shots of MAX 50 - 75 yards. 170 grain remington core lokt will devistate deer, hogs, and chinchilla at that range. Yes even the rabid chinchilla.
A buddy of mine shoots a scoped 30-30 marlin along the riverbanks of the angelina. He sometimes shoots 100 - 150 yards. He uses 170 grain remington cor lokts and takes lots of deer and hogs.
Another buddy of ours shoots a scoped 30-30 marlin at paper targets out to 200 yards. He uses lever revolution ammo and kills tons of paper targets with mighty impressive groups.
Me and buddy #1 spend around $11 a box which gets use approx 20 animals per box. 1 animal 1 shell try to keep track here folks.
Buddy #2 spends around $17 a box and can't eat what he shoots, but he has alot of fun turning a nice brush gun into a nice bench/target plinker.
None of us are wrong, but it may be of interest Buddy #2 uses remington core lokts to hunt with WHEN he uses his 30-30 to hunt (Which was once last year when the scope on his 270 got busted in a truck wreck.)
my 2 cents.

"The gun has been called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed." - 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan 1911-2004
