The 30-30 has recoil?! Well mercy sakes ......

What are they gonna come up with next?

I expect that somebody starting a youngster out deer hunting would be very interested in a reduced recoil commercial loading.

OR, an adult suffering a permanent neck injury, for that matter.

Yep. Or my dad, who is 85 and has had a subdural hematoma before, so doesn't need to be jarred around.
Or the person who only has a few rifles (it could happen!) and could use reduced loads to dispatch skunks, rats, whatever.

I started shooting Dad's 94 when I was 9 years old. I remember it smacking me pretty good. I imagine there is a market for reduced recoil 30-30 ammo to make shooting more fun for little folks starting out, or don't handload.

My Grandson Brylen has been shooting his family hand me down 94 carbine 30-30 since he was 6 yr. old . I started him off with it using light 100 gr. plink loads that run around 1400fps. He has learned to shoot that 94 and become comfortable and familiar with it because of light loads. The Hornady 30-30 light loads would be great for the person that does not handload. Brylen turned 9yr. old in November and was allowed to hunt deer this season for the first time. All that practice with light loads helped Brylen make a perfect heart shot on his first deer last wk. with a Winchester 150gr. Silver Tip.

I suppose I am an insensitive curmudgeon. But I think anyone who claims to be so physically pathetic that they need reduced 30-30 ammo needs to find something else to shoot.

Many summers ago my then 10 year old step son wanted to shoot my 30-30 lever guns I offered to load up some light stuff but he gave me one of those looks. He never flinched with anything I had loaded for the 30-30, 303 Brit or what ever I had.
Neither did my wife.

Far as I'm concerned that reduced recoil stuff is just a marketing gimmick. Or an answer to a question never asked.

My Physician told me today that his old Winchester 30-30 has very stout recoil. He is shooting factory loads. He is probably not over 40-42 years old, slender and weights lifts some. Takes excellent care of himself.

Says that it seems to kick more than his bolt action 30-06. Everyone feels/perceives recoil differently it seems to me.

My 11 yo son enjoys shooting the old 30wcf with remingtons 125 grain reduced recoil ammo much more than the 32WS with leverevolution.

Exactly. It depends on your build, stance, the design of the gun, and your individual perception.

That's why I get amused/disgusted at all the internet arguments. So few can see past their own experiences.
