I've shot cartridges from guns that feed poorly and finicky. The 30-06 isn't one of them. In fact, I can shoot an '06 in a 700 as fast as I can work the bolt. I don't try to feed empties. I don't understand how it would matter that empty brass feed well. Given that 30-06 causes no feeding issues, it doesn't make sense to use that as a criterion to use a 300 H&H over an '06. No offense to fans of the round. I have never felt the need to shoot one. If others have had feeding issues with 30-06 bolt guns, that is another story.
