    30/30 revisited

    30/30 doesn't seem to leave as much blood shot meat as my 8x57 or 30/06

    30/30 revisited

    i plan on working up some 170 Nosler Partitions for Elk and keep the shots within 150 yards ,, dont see a reason that they wont assuming its a good shot angle

    30/30 revisited

    i agree the 160 LVR seems to kick more the standard rounds

    30/30 revisited

    I’d much rather shoot inside 250 yards anyway

    30/30 revisited

    I recently bought a 30/30 marlin, throughly enjoyed sighting it do to the lack of blast and recoil. Shot a whitetail with it on a hunt from about 100 yards. Did a fine job with a good wound channel. Makes me wonder why I mess with anything bigger for deer

    .35 Remington

    There is an excellent article in the most recent Handloader about the 35 rem,,,, I usually reach for my 8x57 or 30/06 but i would be just as well off for 80 percent of my big game hunting with my Marlin 336 in 35 remington

    Regional Firearm tastes....North-vs-South-vs-East-vs-West

    in this part of western colorado id bet the 270/30-06-7mm rem mag would cover the majority of big game hunters over a certain age,,, with 308/6.5c gaining ground with younger folk

    35 remington loads

    i found an accurate combination over the weekend with the 220 speer and 42.5 grains of LVR powder,,, its a warm load ,, groups started to open with 43.0 grains ...hopefully this fall I will see if 220 speer does as well on game as the 200 rem

    35 remington loads

    i am guessing the FTX does a better job of expanding on heavier game like hogs than smaller deer ,, the one deer i shot with a FTX was through the lungs and ran long ways with a limited blood trail , fortunately it was on snow or i would have had a hard time recovering the deer

    I find it interesting that the 45-70 was designed for infantry because it is such a large cartridge

    in summary of the past 5 pages ,,,,,,,,,,Custers last stand was a perfect storm of all the factors that led to his demise. Lots of questions about that battle just cant be answered now. I cant remember the book, i think it was "the buffalo hunters" but it said that the 45/70 was more popular...

    8mm ammo for Mauser K98?

    7.92x57 is really a handloaders cartridge these days. Hard to find factory ammo at reasonable prices and the surplus is difficult to find as compared to 20 years ago when I got my first Mauser....
