All of them do something better than the 30-06, but none of them do everything as well.

If you can't see the impact, you can't hold or dial to the miss.....
Yeah, I mentioned that in earlier post. But if you have a "lay" buddy or spotter that can say: "you just missed him 8 inches low". Knowing what angular adjustment would make approximately 8" correction at said range could be valuable. But yeah, he could be a complete idiot and it truly be 14" away, or maybe high instead of low, or maybe he said left but meant right. Or maybe the wind changed now... We can only control our part. There are plenty more variables working against us. Plenty of different conditions & situations where the same thing doesn't always work. Having an another trick in the bag never hurts. Spending the extra time to learn what that "click" is actually doing will never hurt. It might even keep a shooter from getting all tangled up.

Just me, but in a hunting situation, I won't take a long shot without a spotter.
I often will take a sighter round also depending on conditions.
At that point I want feedback from the target area. IE on a spotter, you hit 1 rock to the left of the rock you aimed at. Or on an animal you hit half animal to left or such, I"ll favor the next shot in.
If I"m so far off you can't get me a call IE dunno, looked like 3-4 animals left or maybe 30 rocks low... I'm done, somewhere somehow I missed something big time. And I'm not going to risk the next shot.
I"m far from good, but I do know what works best for me and my mostly untrained spotters.....
We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....

Let me complicate and confuse it a tad more. Run a .435 to .530 BC with around 2,900 to 3,000 FPS and the number you dial in MOA is your 5mph drift in inches, doubled is 10mph, etc. Drops off around 550 yards though. Close enough that you ain't good enough to tell. Unless you have a Kestrel in your ass. Course there's another 99 things that can go wrong.
Fun schit....
