I mostly agree with all that has been discussed here. I’m still in the school that I don’t think there is enough killing difference between the medium bore 06 based cartridges to really matter in the big game woods. Big bear country maybe but elk and moose, not so much. I personally think that’s why the 30-06 still remains and always will be king over all of them.
I also need to admit that after spending years in the Elmer Kieth camp (where most of you all in this discussion seem to be) I have transitioned to the O’Connor/Weatherby camp over the years. I’ve personally seen super high velocity “shut off more lights” in the hunting woods than frontal area..
How boring would it be if we all saw it the same?
