Sorry guys! That was what I was told! As I used to have a 308 I really cant see a 44-40 coming even close. Please I am deeply sorry and take that back! Cant trust these Aussies!
Looks like the 30-30 is the way togo. I probaly go for the carbine version if they have one.
ColeYounger you gave me some VERY good advice and I thank you for putting so much time into this subject.
Thanks to everyone in this subject!
Bwaaa...don't nobody worry about it. I must've been wrapped too tight today. Neither a 30-30 nor a 44-40 will come close to the .308 WCF. Both are generally chambered in lighter, faster-handling carbines though, unless it's legal to have a .308 AR-10 type weapon over there. Those can get pretty pricey pretty quickly too. I think all three calibers would be excellent for hawgs. The .308 certainly will handle stuff at much longer distances but that point is probably moot with hog hunting.
