Someone here posted an outfitter’s notes from the 40’s or 50’s here a few years ago. It was a list of hunters, what kind of elk they shot, what they shot it with, and maybe how many shots it took.

It was interesting to look back and see what people were using when the 30/06 was a big gun. Many references to the 30/30 and the 250 and 300 Savage IIRC.
