"The court, sitting en banc*,* ruled 10–5 against the Garden State’s laws, with Judge Arianna Freeman—a progressive appointee of President Joe Biden—writing the majority opinion."
Hey there — I’m looking for some subjective advice and objective data to help me choose a chambering for a lever gun coming back to shooting and hunting after a long hiatus.
Generally, I like to work backward from what I need the shot to do and what the circumstance are when I deliver it:
Goal:
Take Maine whitetail at 100yd or less — likely 25-75yd — and rebuild skill with shooting after a hiatus. Using non-lead bullets.
Circumstances:
I am 5’6” and 145lb
I have short arms for my height
I haven’t shot a rifle in 7 years due to injuries (see below)
I have 2 herniate disks — one between the shoulder blades, and one in my lower back
I am medically cleared to hunt, but likely more recoil sensitive that I was
I do not own a rifle in either cartridge and would need to buy a new rifle to begin training and hunting with.
The only context I have is what I shot before my injury:
308 bolt action, it was a bit much but manageable
5.7×28mm bullpup, it was nothing.
9mm pistol, it was comfortable.
I’m looking at a Marlin or Henry in either 357 mag or .30-30 using non-lead factory loads — but I’m just not sure if .30-30 is too much recoil to truly re-train my shooting skills (which were on the beginner end of the scale to begin with).
The math shows 11ft-lb for .30-30 and 6ft-lb for 357, and I always used to stay under 15 being a smaller build. But now I’m leaning toward lighter is better, so i can have some longer range sessions to rebuild without irritating my discs AND still be an ethical hunter.
Any advice from smaller shooters who have handled both chamberings and know how they compare in terms of recoil?
