[QUOTE="Timnterra, post: 2726836, member: 55944"] Well after sifting through all these responses I haven’t seen any other posts about the tried and true 30-06. It’s old fashioned now and no one seems to talk about it much anymore but it really is a fine all around cartridge. In truth your 308 or 7-08 is all you need for 600yd whitetail hunting but since you are looking for something with crossover components to shoot out of a long action the 30-06 is your sensible choice. Your average hunting distance doesn’t need a magnum cartridge or magnum recoil. You can use the same bullets from the 308 and the same powders from your 270 or creedmoor all you need is a box of Lapua brass and you now have a supercharged long action 308. [/QUOTE]
