Within reasonable shooting distances the 30-06 is very hard to beat.I'd venture to guess most game is shot inside 200yds.At that distance and even beyond that a bit,The 30-06 hangs with the best of them.Wide range of powder and bullet choices makes the 30-06 a true winner.
I believe you're right. On top of that, most of that game is deer. So for the most part of the most part why do folks use as much power as a 30-06 provides when something like a 7mm08 or 6.5 Creedmoor or 260 Rem is plenty?
