Boddington says a lot of good things about classic cartridges, but 90% of his hunting (non-gun/cartridge based) articles and books all say something along the lines of-My old standby always seems to be my .30-06, but on hunts like this a .300win mag is just a better choice-or something like-the .270 is an outstanding classic deer round, one of my favorites, but on this hunt I opted for the more powerful....Like I said, he says a lot of good about classic rounds, but all be danged if he's going to get caught hunting one-at least in one of his articles...although I was pleasantly surprised at his "Buffalo Classic" article in Petersons about the H&R 1871 Buffalo Classic .45-70, yes it's a big bore, but far from a magnum, although he pointed out that he was using hopped up loads and the newly arrived Garret and buffalo bore factory ammo.

And about the article's about the short mag's in P's H., like I said before, he's got as big of case of "magnumitus" as he does "bigboritus", so as long as it's fast, he'll claim to like it...AND, like I said before, there's no true way to tell whether he's endorsing something for free, of if Winchester is padding his pockets to sell rounds and rifles.
