If everyone in the free world that I grew up with hadn't been such 06 fans and would of been .270 ones instead no doubt I'd be more of an 06 fan myself. Can we say obstinate...

Ive done a far bit of work with one, including moose and it has always did the trick. Mine is currently stoked with 154 Horny flat bases, and I have kicked over taking it elk hunting this year.

Dober That's about it in a nutshell. My rancher buddy Jim told me the only reason he became a 7mmRM user is he was sick and tired of hearing nothing but "30-06" and "270" growing up... yeah, he's obstinate too. Guess I was lucky to grow up in a non-hunting family... I had no such prejudices, so chose the best.

Never heard it put quite like that. Had to read that one several times... DF Simply put, this is the absolute truth. The original question was between a 300 Win mag and a 300 WBY mag. Mashburns and all the rest of the sub 30 caliber junk is not allowed. Furthermore the reference of not enough and too much is applied to the 30-06 which, like it or not, is the benchmark by which all calibers are measured...

They're still wandering around somewhere in cyberspace, searching for a conclusion. My guess is that someday a real rifle loony will post on one of the threads again, and we'll once again ride toward infinity. “Montana seems to me to be what a small boy would think Texas is like from hearing Texans.” John Steinbeck

Now if you really want some imigination to read, toss in the 7x64 and stand back. When truth is ignored, it does not change an untruth from remaining a lie.
