And the funny thing is Canadians say that about the .303 Brit for the last 100 years or so.  Nobody cares about what the Snow Mexicans have to say.

I like the 150 GameKings in my 308’s. They hammer deer pigs and pesky Aoudads. Some of the pigs and Aoudads weigh over 225 lbs.

Shot one deer with a 45-70. Ran about 50 yards after a behind the shoulder heart/lung shot. That's why my deer death ray is a creedmoor.

I do not believe that there is anything on the planet that will drop a deer any quicker than a good 130 grain bullet from a 270 Winchester.
If there is, it hasn't hit the market yet. Lol , well now that explains a lot ! Kenneth

140 Partitions at 2800 FPS from a 7mm-08 does the job right now on deer.

LMAO The 30-06 is a great cartridge and we all know that. I have several rifles in that chambering as well as 25-06, 27-06 (270), 338-06 and 35-06 (35 Whelen). All are super performers. When I think about "death ray" though, the 260 Remington comes to mind. The flat trajectory and great penetration of the 260 has rendered a lot of bang flops for me. T.S.

It’s UnAmerican not to own at least one 30-06

I've had identical results with my 30-30. OK I'll go to the back of the bus now....
PS: Same-o, same-o with my .44 Mag. (But only out to about 100 yds.) Beyond that, they just kinda bounce off the deer.
PSS: Almost forgot, my Daniel Boone stare gets em every time too! DRT

I’m seriously thinking about selling every non-lever centerfire hunting rifle that I have that isn’t chambered in 30-06. I don’t believe that there is anything more effective on whitetails than a 30-06 stoked with 150s running 2900 FPS or better. Every deer I’ve ever shot with that combination just flops over and dies. They don’t run 30 yards, they don’t meander around, it is literally bang and flop.
I know that there are lots of cartridges that work as well and I’ve used a lot of them. But the confidence I have with that combination cannot he overstated. I’m getting to the age where reloading is more of a chore than a passion and the ability to just grab a rifle and pretty much any factory 150s (if I don’t have any loaded) is nice.
Yeah, 30-06 is boring but at this point in life, excitement can be overrated. It just works. That mirrors my experience with the 30-06 and 150 cup and cores.

Don't know how old you are these days but sometimes i just feel like the 250 sav. with 87 grain bullets.
In a somewhat lighter rifle as well.

I shot lots of deer, back twenty and thirty years ago, with the 30 06. I was using Remington Core Lokt in 180 grain and also a Winchester bullet in 180 grain, back then that was about the only ammo available.
Bang flop? Not for me. The average deer ran 110 yards on the lung shot. Good blood trail but what a tracking job!
I shot over 50 deer that way.
I was using a scope and I was a good shot, I did start getting in to the neck shot and I made about 10 neck shots. Bang flop.
I must say, on the lung shot I got much better results with my Tennessee Mountain Rifle and the .490 round ball. Never had one go over 50 yards with the lung shot with the round ball.
