ORIGINAL: Paul L Mohr

If I had my choice it would be the 30-30. But if I could shoot a centerfire I would get a .243 instead.
I have killed deer and hogs with calibers ranging from 223 to 300 WSM, and I would never place a 243 ahead of a 30-30 for a short range deer round.

I would definitely pick a 30-30 over a 44 magnum for no other reason but that the 30-30 does have slight range advantage if it were ever needed.
