Con,
Sounds like you're accusing Dober of being an old fart, or something similar...
I have a very light 30-06 HVA in which I shoot lighter wt. bullets so it won't beat me up. If I was going with 200+ bullets, I'd use my .338-284 or 9.3x62. Not that the '06 wouldn't do the trick, but just 'cause...
