[QUOTE="rustyshackleford, post: 1975538, member: 59526"] I will say I agree that he should probably get a 300 WM or 338 WM so he gets a significant bump in performance but can still find ammo. However, throwing out efficiency as an argument against the 30-06 is silly if you handload. Efficiency is nothing more than operating pressure, a well matched powder, and a sleek bullet. A 30-06 can probably come very close to matching your 300 WM load with RL 26 and a 24-26 inch barrel. If you handload a 30-06 and load it like you would modern cartridge the efficiency argument is moot. With RL-16 and a 200 sgk I’m getting 2685 ft/sec with zero pressure signs from a 22 inch barrel. I could probably run it up 50-100 ft/sec faster but I don’t care to chase that. This is why my next step up in firepower is a 416 rem mag. Any non dangerous game will fall to that 06 load inside out to 500 yards. [/QUOTE]
