If a cartridge isn't successful, it's because it was a bad idea. If it is successful, it was still bad, just got favorable reviews. How does anybody win with these rules?
We've all seen the introduction of the 307 Winchester and 308 Marlin trying to dethrone the old 30-30. Guess how that ended?
Ditto on the 45-70. A 300 grain 45 bullet at 1600 fps from a 454 Casull will shoot through dinosaurs. But, a 300 grain 45 bullet at 1800 fps from the 45-70 has a rainbow trajectory and useless. Maybe my math is wrong?
Our PH in Africa told Daren his 303 British should have been left home and a 300 Magnum was the correct gun. Yet, the 303 British killed animals over 700 lbs with one shot. I will admit the PH backtracked and admitted the guns effectiveness.
