[QUOTE="Wolf76, post: 1629380, member: 75779"] The '06 is an interesting cartridge. Sort of good at many things, but great at nothing. Vs the 308, I don't consider the 1-2 hundred fps advantage significant enough to warrant a long action. If I need more HP than a 308, the '06 isn't the answer. You could make the "1 gun" arguement for the 06, but who wants 1 gun? Watched a YouTube video the other day where a young hunter shot an elk at something less than 300 yards with a 6.5 CM. The bull was still alive for more than 2 minutes on video. Watched a 300 mag kill 2 bulls so fast, it dam near knocked their ivories out. No love for the misuse of the 6.5 on big game. Great deer and target round though. I own an 06, mostly out of respect for the round. But I'll grab my 257 bee or 308 most often for deer or 300 - 338 something mag for elk. [/QUOTE]
