Depending on capacity, the southern California Hydrazombie...Either caliber is more than sufficient for a white tail...really I can't think of anything in North America you couldn't take with either.
I stand corrected, I always thought C4 was invented for those pesky Alaskan Bull mice that had become an invasive species in the lower 48 also infamous for lengthy bouts of laughter after multiple hits from a 30-30.A whitetail deer is more dead with the 30.06 than the .308. Common knowledge amongst hunters. For decades. They become more dead. Noticeably.
Its why I like the 30-30. And the 300 Savage. Deer laugh when I shoot them. Until they die. Its more fun that way.
That should clarify my position and eliminate all confusion. I suspect you are a new hunter that has never had a shot deer laugh at you after you have shot it.
It really is unsettling.
It's why C4 was invented. People were tired of being laughed at by scrawny deer.
BINGO...I would love to have a .30-06, but when .30-30 does the job just fine, I'll have to stick with what works!These debates are so much better when sitting around a campfire....with a couple of venison hanging from a tree after a harvest with an old Winchester 1894 in 30-30
I think .350 Legend would be closer in relation to a rimless .357 max than .30-06 or .308. I'm sure its a decent public land deer cartridge but I don't know how it would really compare to .30-06 or .308.What about this .350 legend that keeps popping up everywhere? Anyone had any luck with it? It seems like it fits between 308 and 30-06...
