I'm a bit fuzzy as far as where (in terms of power) the 45/70 goes..
I always thought it was halfway between 308 and 300WinMag. Or am I wrong?

Twoblink, I know hunters from all over Texas; Sierra Blanca to Sonora to Mineral Wells to Lufkin. Almost all of them use bolt actions from .25 to .30 caliber most of the time. I just started using the .45-70 lever action last year myself. Point is, if the folks I know are any kind of representative sample, you'd be just as out of place using a .30-30 1894 or a Ruger #1 in .338 as using that EBR (I'm assuming that's what your .308 is).I (for some reason) felt if I'm in TX, maybe a 45/70 would fair me a bit better to the look of the locals than a 308..
