With modern powders and bullets the 30-06 is truly better than ever. Until you get up to Cape Buffalo, there is no NEED for anything else. Truth is, that you can say the same for lots of rounds but the 30-06 is a great balance of power and shootability while being the most popular round in just about every corner of the whole world. There is nowhere that you can find shooting supplies that you can't find the 30-06.
