That is because the 30-06 is so anemic that it gives the animals a fair chance. The H&H is so potent that they know they can't get away and just have to surrender




The .30 Holland is neither terribly efficient nor overly potent.
It is a cool old cartridge that was designed to give good game performance and maintain low chamber pressures and slick operation in about any conditions.

It succeeded...

With the use of smokeless powder it became something more, and thus started the era of high performance magnum rifles. With todays rifles and cartridges, it is easy to better the performance of the H&H cartridge.
But that don't make it a bad choice...

Rifle shooting on game has evolved until many question the need for pushing heavy bullets at high speed. So be it.
Some will always appreciate the capability to do so...
