Thread: Calibre Choice in the 1970's

The animals in the 70s weren't nearly as literate as they are today.

I never had a deer, a big pig etc get up after I'd shot him and tell me "that 308 has poor BC and is not a good choice", or " don't you know a 284 has flatter trajectory after 400 meters", or "excuse me but that 30-30 soft nose you just shot me with only has 990 ft/lbs at 200, while a 308 180gr Norma has 1800 ft/lbs". The animals weren't internet 'experts' back then. So they just fell over and died without a word. Clearly I/they have alot to learn..
