That was decent rule of thumb with the simple cup and core bullets or even large diameter solids from the last century. I have looked...

I don’t see why not. A nice little 30-30 would do it. Not a fair comparison but I have an old Marin 336 Texan in .35 Rem that I’d love...

I wonder back in the day, if anyone with a Winchester model 92 carbine in 44-40 caliber ever killed an elk or a buffalo? 🤔

This thread makes me glad that I still have my dad's Winchester Model 94. You never know when you're going to get stampeded by a herd of...

The Barnes 150 tsx .3030 bullet has one heck of a big hollow point. Will open up at .30-30 speed for sure and penetrate like a mono...

@RockyMtnMT any thoughts on how your 143gr Lever Hammer might do against the Roosevelt elk in the western Cascades of Washington state?
