Would chose a .30/06 with either 180 or 200 gr bullets long before I would even consider a 7/08.
I didn't think they made any other bullets for the 06, except for the 165's... . I've been loading a lot of 200gr. partitions lately and those should get the job done on damn near anything... I've also been shooting the ol 06 since I was 12. The mild recoil has never seemed to bother me. I can shoot 100 rounds in a range trip with no problems..
