I like the 30-06 as there is a lot of versatality and ammo availability.
That having been said I like the 270 Winchester better for my purposes (deer hunting)as it has less recoil and still kills our deer 150-250 pounds just as well if not better than the 06.
And if I decide to go Elk hunting I believe the 270 Winchester with either the Barnes 130 Grain TTSX,winchester 140 grain Accubond or the Federal premium with the 150 grain Partition would do just fine.
I dont think the 06 is too much gun but if the 270 Winchester will work just fine why put up with the extra recoil from the 30-06
So for me its not a matter of the 30-06 being too much gun its a matter of the 270 Winchester being better !!
