[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 802541, member: 13632"] The 30-06 is and was a great all round cartridge but with long range hunting being the focus not just long range shooting it kinda gets left behind, some have a magnum because it says magnum but a good number of us shoot them because we just flat need to launch heavier, better BC bullets faster to get the job done on game at longer ranges. I'll shoot a 22-250 till it runs out of range, then I shoot a 270 WSM which gets me just past a 1000 yards on elk and then I pull the 338 RUM out and sling a 300gr Berger for anything past that, the case is just to get the bullet up to the speed needed to impact game at the range I want to shoot and nothing more. If your hunting range only needs an 06' the rock it, not much need for more!! [/QUOTE]
