I also prefer another version of that thought as well, from Townsend Whelen: "The .30-06 is never a mistake."
Believe he was referring to North American big game, since he never hunted in Africa. But the African PH I have hunted most with killed around 500 Cape buffalo with a .30-06 and 180-grain Partitions, during culling on a big ranch in what was then Rhodesia, as other ranch workers pushed herds in his direction.
