My wife's family moved from southern Ohio to the Klamath Falls area or Oregon when she was 12. She's 68 now. Her brother worked road construction and had always used a model 94 30-30. After a couple construction seasons he bought a BSA Majestic in 308. It was all he ever hunted with until he passed. He left it to our son and our son always left it with us because he didn't hunt. When he passed our daughter in law passed it on to us. So it means a lot to us.
Her brother's load of choice was the Remington 180 grain Core Lokt round nose. I still have the last box he bought. It has 17 rounds left in it. He kept the family in deer and elk for many years and we've used it on deer elk and moose. I've been tempted to have Etta use that ammo if she gets drawn for another cow moose tag. I have no idea what the velocity is but she says her brother was pretty effective at keeping meat in the freezer with that little rifle.
