[QUOTE="Rancocas, post: 5029136, member: 2871"] Do you know of Chuck Hawks? He writes a lot of stuff about guns. Maybe you can do a search and find Hawks' article entitled; "The Optimum .30 Caliber Rifle Cartridge". He concludes that the old, venerable .30-06 is the ultimate .30 caliber rifle cartridge and he gives his reasoning. I agree with him. I believe the .30-06 can do just about anything any of the .300 magnums can, and do it with less recoil and less expensive ammo. The .30-06 might have a little less range than a .300 magnum, but I consider any shot over 300 yards to just be sniping and not hunting. Either one; .308 or .30-06 is all that I need for any big game found in North America except the big brown and polar bears. And, for them I would want a .338 Win Mag. as a minimum. But, I understand if you "just want one". ():~) [/QUOTE]
