The longer I hunt, the less I'm convinced all this minutiae makes any difference.
Would happily hunt anything with a .308 that I've hunted with the .30-06--and these days I consider the .30-06 a "big" cartridge. Not like the .375 H&H or .416 Rigby, but even in Africa a bunch of Cape buffalo have been killed with the .30-06--or 7mm Remington Magnum, or .300 Winchester Magnum. Shoot any big game in the right place with a bullet that expands and penetrates sufficiently and they all die pretty quickly.
Amen to that......right on.
