I almost bought a 30-06, but got a 300WM instead, not that it does any more than a 30-06 will, I was 10 years younger and wanted a magnum. Its now my go to rifle, but I would have just as well been served with an 06 as with a 300WM. I like to tell myself that the 30-06 is like a nice steak, the 300WM st that steak with onions and mushrooms. I think someone on this board coined that phrase. As for coming on here and bashing a cartridge, what good does that serve? You could just come on here and pose a question in a tactful manner and get honest answers. Or you can come on here insulting people and get a negative response like you did, its just a persons natural response.
