I've often pondered simply using the 7 lb 30-06 in my safe for everything.
I'm thinking very strongly about this!
I tried this out this year. New baby didn't give me much time to experiment this year. Antelope, Mule Deer and Elk all with a Ruger 1A in .30-06 wearing a Leupold 2-7x28. I bought a box of factory Remington 180 grain Core-Loct. They worked well, but it was kind of boring.
“Go afield with a good attitude, with respect for the wildlife you hunt and for the forest and fields in which you walk. Immerse yourself in the outdoor experience. It will cleanse your soul and make you a better person.” -- Fred Bear
