[QUOTE="greenejc, post: 1977809, member: 60453"] Good video. I would use the -06 simply because it will deliver a heavier, denser bullet to the animal with more penetration if I happen to hit heavy bone. I hate blood trailing especially just before dark. I practice at ranges well beyond what I would be comfortable shooting game so that at ranges where I am comfortable, I can be sure of a hit. I practice under field conditions so that when I get a shot under those conditions I can be sure I'll be able to make the shot. I generally load both the 30-06 and the .300WM with 180 to 200 grain bullets just to insure good straight line penetration out to around 500 yards. That's about my limit on game animals, because I want them to be DRT, not dead at the bottom of a ravine or maybe a mile away. I hunted elk and deer with the -06 and the 300WM until I started using a .35 Whelen. A 225 or 250 grain bullet works even better. [/QUOTE]
