Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles .30-30 vs big bore lever rounds

I've used the .30-30 as well as the .450 Marlin on a fair number of critters. I killed a big Shiras bull with the .450.

I think the big bores make critters show more signs of a hit than the .30-30, but it didn't kill them much faster. The .450 does hit with AUTHORITY...on both ends.
