Magnum Bob, As only living in Wyoming for 35 years, I’ve only met “one” hunter using a 30-30, and none using a .223 (though I know of some that say they used the .223). My wife, back in 1973 ish, used a .243Win.....once!

To further qualify my findings or lack of findings......I meet “very few” people when hunting! memtb
