[QUOTE="fta0303, post: 3094586, member: 43503"] "You'll do your work on water and lick the bloody boots of 'im that's got it." ;) I've not heard of excess Eskimo deaths due to the .30-30 or .303. The .303 ammo was probably milsurp, hardball. Good penetrator for a square hit. .30-30 maybe too low a velocity for cup & core to fail , certainly adequate for brain shot from any angle, in close range, proven thus. People tend to make their tools work. Point taken though, most Eskimos likely would have traded for an -06 or 35 Whelen. That Eskimo father probably made his son a more effective bear killer than most sport hunters. :) [/QUOTE]
