Okay, Big Cheese, Let me try again.
You said, "30 06 good for everything great for nothing."
In addition to being widely useful, the 30-06 is a fantastic moose rifle. (Last time I checked - and I've checked more than a couple of dozen times- moose are not "nothing").
The first moose I killed - perhaps before you were born, at least while your diapers were still soggy- that moose took one slug from my old '06 right through the lungs, flopped right there before my eyes. The most recent, a shot at 399 yards, the same version of death: a 190 grain BTSP Hornady InterLock, zipped through chest diagonally and out again. Didn't just flop like the one 20 some previous. It stood as they often do even when whacked by bigger, faster bullets, for a few seconds, then layed down and died.
I have killed moose with 6mm, 6.5mm, 7mm, 30 cal, 34 cal, 35 cal, and 45 cal, and seen the killed by more. None has worked better than the old 30-06. Now, can you honestly say it isn't a great moose caliber? (I know I can't.)
