I have been snooping around looking at lever guns in these two calibers for use in our high-elevation elk woods here in south central New Mexico. At first I convinced myself the only caliber worth considering was the .35 Remington with a 200-grain or heavier bullet with big meplat. But reading a number of threads here and elsewhere, I have come to the conclusion that there aren't many flies on the .30WCF when loaded with a good 190- grain or heavier cast boolit with as big a meplat as possible -- over a healthy dose of LeveRevolution.
How many here have actual experience on big game with cast from these two grand old levergun calibers? Given the bullet in the right spot, is there a nickel's worth of difference in killing power on game up to the size of cow elk? Thanks for any thoughts. Getting over back surgery, and boy does daydreaming about fall hunting help to take the mind off the current unpleasantness!
