I love the 30-06 and I was in the Marine Corp long enough ago that I carried one of the damn things but when folks start talking about red-lining it in order to achieve what would be moderate performance from another cartridge, I'm gonna go with the bigger cartridge if that's the performance I need.
The '06 can stand on it's own merit. Why try to make it something it's not? Like the current trend to try to make a .243 out of a .223.
What drives this whole debate is how far away can you kill something. Has anyone thought about getting closer? Does that $300 worth of scent proof camo really confound the animal when you're sitting in the truck 500 lasered yards away?
