RE: 35 rem vs 30/30
DM- i agree. i have seen what a 30-30 dose to deer and i have seen what a 35 rem dose. i don't care what the books say i would take the 35 out and watch it preform it's magic. really it is hard to explan however if you ever saw deer shot with a 30-30 and then a 35 rem..... well lets say the choice would be a lot harder...... what gun to get that is chambered for the 35.
i shot several deer with a 35 and have seen dozens killed with the 30-30.....i have noticed that deer hit with the 30-30 run about 10-50 yards as if not being hit and then fall over dead.....when the 35 barks you see the impacted and you see the deer fall to the ground as if it were hit with thore's hammer.
anyone that has seen what a 35 will do compared to the 30-30 such as DM knows what i am talking about
