I would not include the 30-06 in this lineup. Powders are a little different than when Fin pinned his article. Granted one can sneak RL-26 in the '06 and run those 200's at 2700fps, but the Whelen easily does 2900fps with the same weight. The '06 would be better at long range where the 200 fps difference is erased, but that's only with RL-26...and I haven't seen that anywhere. Real world the '06 is 300 to 400 fps behind the Whelen with similar weights. In my hunting experience the Whelen drops game quicker than a tough 200gr '06 bullet
