I have never changed my answer to that question

What is your favorite rifle ? and what rifle do you use the most ?

Load it with Any of the current premium bullets and bring it.

Some of the quickest kills On bears were from clients using calibers from the 270 & 7mm to the 30-06 and 300's

Even though we all "know" the 338's and 375's are better.

Anyone who claims the 30-06 is not effective has either not used one, or else is unwittingly commenting on their marksmanship.
