Two different things. My first CF was a customized Jap 6.5 chambered ti ..257. The less than scrupulous seller told me it was a .25 Jap re chambered. I was about fourteen (1951)and not knowledgeable about such things. I shot factory ..257 Roberts in it. Funny thing was, it was pretty accurate. The flight of the bullet made a weird sound as it wobbled to the target. All I ever killed with it was jack rabbits, pests, and varmints. I later found out better and traded it for a nice .38/44 Outdoorsman.

First deer was with a borrowed pre '64 Model 94 .30-30. I have had dozens since then, little to medium bore magnums. Over sixty years later, there are still four .30-30s in my stable. My last deer may drop to one of them.
