My first response to a hunter who asks what rifle to bring is to ask what they have and which is their favorite ? If they are comfortable with their 270. 308 or 30-06 I recommend they buy some premium ammo and bring that one.

Unfortunately only about half of them follow that advice, but the ones who do usually use a lot less lead to obtain their trophy.

Anyone who claims the 30-06 is not effective has either not used one, or else is unwittingly commenting on their marksmanship.
