Just my .02again the original topic is not whether or not it is better or worse in it's capable range. it was why do people hate on this legendary cartridge..
Maybe it's because of the "newer is better" herd mentality, combined with enough disposable income to be able to play around. I personally love the loadings that have stood the test of time. 45/70, 30/30, 30/06, they haven't been around for more than a hundred years because they are inadequate. I own them all, along with a few more modern loadings as well, 7mm Rem.Mag., 7mm08, I like them all. But if I had to trim it down to just a couple, the "old guy's" would win hands down. And my "brush gun" would most likely be my 30/30.
