I have recently been bitten by the DR bug BAD!!! I have Brown's book on order and can't wait to start. I realize the book will clear up some questions I have, but I'm too impatient for some of those questions. I was thinking originally about building a .30-30 DR. I got to looking in the new Hornady book and was looking at the .460 Smith round. I thought this would make a very cool gun for whitetail in the river bottoms. Any thoughts from anyone? If this works out, my second rifle will be a big thumper of some kind. Thanks for any help. I am BRAND NEW to this.
