Would be cool if we could hunt with a rifle on a AR platform. It's closer to a 7.62x39 then a 30-30 in performance .
I have a .300 AAC in a Remington 783 16.5" HB, while it's kinda chunky but it's an awful lot of fun to shoot.
Just starting to work up some cast bullet loads.
Brass is economical, so are dies. Takes little powder, cheap to shot.
If your going mini mauser and have some extra cash, build a 6x45 for your Daughter, 2850 fps with 80 gr winchester, next to no recoil, just neck up .223 brass to 6mm.
Left 6x45 Sako AI action, Right .222 Sako AI action
G E Flach custom in 6x45 on Sako L461 action
