That .307 did fizzle out pretty quickly.
In our camp in NY almost all of us carried .308's of some sort except for my uncle who had a nice 94 in 30-30. He punched a forkhorns ticket one year at about 80 yards and all we heard for years after was "The 30-30 is all you need DAMMIT". I was the radical back then, I carried a .280 Rem for a while due to Carmichels influence. The reason I mention all this is because Carmichel had a 30-30 with excellent wood that was a MOA rifle with handloads and I was seriously considering obtaining a like rifle for all my back east hunting. My uncle was right, most times the 30-30 IS all you need.
