    i did want to add one more point with .30 caliber versus .45 that i found . .. when the big .45 300grn bullets compared to 200grn .30 cal bullets at 1600fps were used on Goats and some Big Fallow Deer the .45s were absolutely devastating, both put them down but the .45s were instant lights out and blew big exit holes on broadside hits that you could look into . . the clockwork had been blown out the side.

    you don't have to be just use subsonic loads in your rifle . . . they will have different zero ranges but thats not a biggy. My .30s use a 50yd for the subs which gives me a 100yd with the high velocity load.

    i preferred the .30s because i could get more accuracy for shooting out further with the rifles i tried without any problems . .. other rifles in the bigger calibers may have enough accuracy for your needs.
