[QUOTE="imyourhuckleberry, post: 1544075, member: 18206"] I have always favored the 30-06 because there is so much the cartridge has to offer. In my opinion when the 30-06 begins to falter it is because people will want lighter rifle and therefore buy one with a 22"or 24" barrel length. Optimally you can get the best velocity from the 26" barrel or longer because there is a direct correlation but this does not make it inherently more accurate. What the longer barrel does is allow you to push the envelope beyond a thousand yards and still maintain a supersonic velocity without dropping into the transonic stage. Furthermore the longer barrel will increase the weight which will tame your recoil. Also it allows you to adjust your recipes from lighter bullets to heavier bullets with increased powder charges to shoot heavier bullets at increased velocities. With todays modern bullet designs the selection of higher bc bullets for the 30-06 are more readily available and can give a 300 win mag a run for its money at 1000 yards easily but at a lower cost. Just my opinion and 2¢. [/QUOTE]
