Has more to do with you the shooter than anything. If you can place a good bullet from a 30-06 where it needs to go, but have trouble hitting a beer can at 100 with a 338WM due to recoil, go with the 30-06 and a good bullet, like a Nosler Partition or similar.

In the end, its the bullet that does the work.

Experience hath shewn, that even under the best forms of government those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny.
