Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Need 30-06 advice.

I got a real good deal on 30-06 with a 22in. barrel.

Here is where I need some help? I was telling a friend about it
and he said that it's way to much gun for whitetails and i'll
end up with a lot of blood shot meat.

What would be a good bullet and powder combo for the '06
seeing this is my first experience with a 30-06?

thanks guy's
