This thread has gone on for longer than I thought it ever would and taken a direction I didn't think of when originally posting it. No science or prejudice, but if I had to pick between a 30-06 or a 308 Win., the 30-06 would win every time. In fact, I just bought another 30-06! But it's what I grew up with, and I have tons of stuff for it. I'm still using Norma brass my dad got back in the 60's. My dad was a one rifle man, a commercial FN Mauser Musketeer in 30-06. From moose to elk to deer and everything else he ever went after. And everything with only one bullet, a 165 gr. Nosler Partition and he taught me the advantage, and benefit, of high percentage shots. Any way, all we have in any of this is each other, there's enough forces outside of us ready to do us in!
It isn't what happens to you that defines you, it's what you DO about what happens to you that defines you!
