I don't think anybody can say the 30-06 is too much gun.
Yeah. I can...
And not for any particular game animal, but for many circumstances where critters are shot the 30-06 is simply too much rifle. Flat land where the rural roads are laid out in township grids, and a school bus or feed and seed truck can pass by anytime call for a rifle that has easily frangible bullets.
There simply is no reliably frangible bullet available in .308 diameter.
Thus my decades long affair with the .243, and more lately the 25-06.
We can't be serious? Are we?
Pretty sure the 243 and 25-06 have hunting bullets that are not frangible.
Doesn't Horny Daddy have a 110 V-Max that is frangible? There, now go use a 30-06. No excuse that it is not "factory loaded".
Talking to you is like trying to nail jello to the wall.
