[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1519099, member: 30902"] This is the LRH site and as such that's the focus here. If you're not shooting over 200yds it doesn't matter a whole lot what you are shooting as long as you select an appropriate bullet. In any given circumstance though flat shooting is important to most hunters however particularly if they are shooting in the 100-400yds range where probably 90% or more of the big game in the US is taken. It's pretty uncomplicated if all you have to do is move your aimpoint from the heart are to the top or slightly above the shoulder and if you're running in the 2850-3400fps range that's all you need at those ranges along with a bullet that'll get the job done. The older cartridges are still excellent for what they were developed and intended to do but as it has since the invention of the first hand cannons over 800 years ago time and technology have both advanced and we have much better versions to work with today particularly when you start moving out beyond that 400yds range. You can launch a .30-30 round a thousand yards but your odds of killing anything with it beyond 300 are pretty slim. The difference in flight time between the .308win and .300 Rum can be a couple of steps by a deer or elk turning a perfect one shot kill shot into a mortally wounding shot. [/QUOTE]
