    the deer at true bush ranges..sub hundred yards sure as hell wont.... the very best factory .308 load for bush/close range work is bog standard 180grn winchester power points......

    if you are above 2200fps you are better than the .30/30 and NOBODY complains about how well it has killed deer for how many years now????
    Some people obviously do care and just because it is a bush pig doesn't mean you have to use it at "bush" ranges. I know I can reach out with mine if necessary and with modern high BC projectiles and dial up scopes it makes the 30-30 look pretty lame when you take it to the tops. And you really don't have to SHOUT, even if you do type slowly.
    Experience. What you get just after you needed it.
