While I only have a handful of real world conclusions to go by, and trying to use reasoning as a means to come to my own conclusions, I still find it hard to think I won't be better off using a 30-30 through brush than a .243.
The opinion I referred to was the quote above. I wasn't asking about the study you mentioned but rather why you felt the 30/30 was better. Bullet or other???? It seems other!
