The ability of people to NOT stay on topic on the Campfire is legendary. The choice was between a 30-06 and a 300 Win.
Go for the 30-06, it is magic. There seems to be the similar magic with a 257 Roberts and it's ability to kill. A 25-06 has more energy, but somehow the Roberts just seems to be the perfect balance and kills reliably. And so it is with the 30-06, it just plain kills big game.
There is a reason that most big game cartridges are compared to a 30-06.
