JWall - a 338/06 or 9.3x62 has a better experience for the operator, than the Win Mag....
BigSky, just as LE and Military are back to the 9mm, with modern bullets, seems there was a famous Bear hunter once in AK....S&W 9....
Yes, a 223 now does what folks started with 243s.......and 243s are doing what folks did long ago with 270s........
So, the ole JOC, is perhaps a better mousetrap for many hunters who would not mind dropping recoil and probably shooting better. But personally I'd use a 140 AB, or 150 Noz of choice depending on game. I always liked 150s in my 270s, but would settle for a 140
No nothing wrong with an '06..........I just never 'Needed' one - satisfied with how a 6mmBR kills. 6.5s are nice and I don't mind a 7/08. But factory ammo, a 270 and '06 are like the 308, you should not have an issue with supply.
