[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 2170945, member: 109862"] Don’t know if anybody thinks 30 calibers are too big...I’m a 30 guy and fully acknowledge the 7mms may be superior for some long range applications. We could just as easily speculate as to what Hathcock might have done with a 7 stw or 375 cheytac or any number of things...he was a proficient marksman using what he had to the full potential of its capability. Billy Dixon shot a man off of a horse at well over 1000 yards with an iron sighted 45-70 (and not a ruger number 1 loaded to 458 win mag velocity haha). The 45-70 isn’t technically too big and slow to be effective at long range but for sure it’s an “outdated” choice and one could do better and hardly do worse for a distance rifle. An extreme example but same logic applies. [/QUOTE]
