Muchgun, I knew you couldn't really stay away
Any big bullet "myths" for me were erased forever by the 80gr GMX Hornady 243, if David Copperfield could magically DRT game animals with a BB gun, it would be no less of a mind boggling feat.
Like I said, do away with preconceived notions based on what numbers tell you, then look at the actual results, and work backwards.
The only thing left in the 30-30 -vs- 35 equation is about 200fps more velocity and seemingly better performing projectiles. How does that 200fps and smaller diameter make that much difference...It does!
Lets start talking about the 7-08 with modern projectiles and why it could now be the perfect all game caliber.
