Default RE: 30-06 Jack of all trades, Master of None.

I like your thinkin on the over kill instead of under kill, I think of it like this, I would rather loose a little meat and kill that animal as fast as posible than shot it with somthing to small and track it for 200 yds, and yes it is mostly about shot placment but lets face we ain't perfect and if you don't hit where your aimmin the bigger the caliber the better. No matter what I'm hunting I shot it till its dead, weather that means 1 or 10(I'm not that bad of a shot,lol) ,I'm only saying this because I 'ev seen to many hunting shows that they shot it once and watch it limp around out there when they could have shot again and ended it.
