The .270 Win has always seemed to me to be an excellent choice for a dedicated deer cartridge � arguably the best. It will also work on elk, as has been proven many tens of thousands of times.

The .30-06 is more versatile, IMHO, when it comes to big game - particularly when big bear and moose are concerned.

They say a man with a .30-06 doesn�t need anything else and I always figured that was a good reason not to own one � so for the first 24 years I big game hunted I didn�t. That said, since 2006 I have acquired three. Not sure why but no regrets. Still don�t have a .270 and have no plans to get one.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.

A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.
