    Due to carpal tunnel ive given up on the 45-70,454s and big boomers in general.
    I find .45 auto,9mm,357,308 and 30-30 a lot more enjoyable along with air rifles/pistols.

    Torn between .308 and 30-30 here,propably 30-30 though because it uses less powder to accomplish the same things my .308 does with cast.
