ORIGINAL: 45/70 Govt.
Can you all please explain to me which one has more power and better ballistics?
Are you serious or trying to make some kind of point?
In case your serious:
.300 win mag of course has a ton more power but isn't as flat shooting as a .243.
However, .243 is only suitable for deer sized and smaller game where the .300 can take any north american game.
