Denny,

That being the case, I'd load up that 10" 30-30 with 125BT's or 150BT's and go hunting.

Should work fine. Muzzle blast will be noticeable in that short barrel but will work fine otherwise.

You might give some consideration to a 30 Herrett or 300 Whisper/Blackout in a 10" barrel as well. Might be easier to handle one handed due to less recoil.

Regards,
Rog
