Is worth it for me to switch from a 30-06 to a 300wsm.I hunt in Upstate New York which is white tail country.I rarely get shot over 200 yards there mostly 35-150 yards.The only reason that i wanted to switch was because i wanted more power.But do i need the extra power?
Shot placement is the key to success with ALL calibers, and that means PRACTICE. Changing toa magnum of any kind is not going to contribute to your hunting success.
In a word, hellno! The '06 is plenty adequate for any use you can think of in NY!
