I started with a 30-06 back in the 1970's because the guy who owned the hardware store where I bought the rifle said it was the best cartridge. It's hard to go wrong with my choice, but as I've gotten older I've discovered that there are other very good choices including 270. But I could never justify both a 30-06 AND a 270. They are just too close in performance and the difference between 300 WSM and 270 WSM is about the same.
