[QUOTE="just_jon, post: 1892385, member: 112153"] At 400 yards, the 30-06 can do everything the 300 WM can do with substantially less recoil. According to Hornady 4DOF, the 30-06 loaded with a 168 grain bullet traveling 2900 fps drops drops 19.6” at 400 yards vs 16.8” a 300WM traveling 3100 fps. Factor in recoil in an 8.25 pound rifle (30-06 @ 18 foot pounds vs 300WM @ 31 foot pounds) and the venerable 30-06 comes out on top in my mind. [/QUOTE]
