Ed, for all I know he's still using the thing for deer hunting. I never really thought about it, but they are both .30 caliber and are rimed cartridges. I'm sure the OAL on the 7.52x54 is longer though. The 30-30 is lower powered and probably will chamber and fire. Soon as this cold nasty rain quits I'll head up to the toy room and check it out. If it does work I don't see any advantage. (I've got three deer already this season with my Marlin 336 30-30, going back bow hunting on the wildlife refuge Friday.)
