Actually reading the article ...

You know it is going to be a really intelligent one, when the first line is ...

Quote:

The all-but-forgotten .30/30 outperforms the .308 and .30/06 at 100 yards

Ha ha ha.

Quote:

your typical 150-grain .308 Winchester hunting bullet penetrates about 19 inches and deforms to a frontal diameter of around 0.55 inch. The same conventionally designed but heavier 180-grain bullet from a .30/06 will push to around 22 inches and expand a little wider, to about .6 of an inch.

But there’s a better .30-caliber option. There is a 150-grain hunting bullet that at 100 yards will penetrate at least 23 inches and expand as much or more than either with similar bullets.

WOW! Rifles firing at a higher velocity, with bullets at the same sectional density or greater and probably better bullet construction pentrate less .... I can see DickMann is going to be a genius writer ...

I think ol'DickMann ia one of these "slower is better" ones ...

Who is this miracle writer?
