30 Whitetail – New Deer Hunting Cartridge for The Prairie State
There can be numerous reasons for designing a new hunting cartridge: from “because I can” to non-satisfactory performance offered by existing cartridges and everything in between. One reason that has been heavily influencing cartridge designs in the United States is legislation. Many states have regulations on cartridge designs that can be used for hunting certain species within their boundaries; things like case/overall length limits, minimum caliber, straight wall only rules, etc. The new cartridge that we are taking a look at today, the 30 Whitetail, is an example of a cartridge designed to meet the law requirements, specifically the Illinois law for bottleneck deer hunting cartridges.
