Im no bullet expert, reloader or long distance shooter. but do most hunter really shoot 500+ yards? what about shot placement? it doesn't matter if you have the best bullet if you don't hit vitals on an elk, it will run off. I shot an elk as he was quartering me with barnes tsx and hit no vitals just watch him run off, even though it destroyed his shoulder . I was lucky to get another shot to finish him off with a neck shot. he was dead before he hit the ground.
All of them do something better than the 30-06, but none of them do everything as well.
