I used a 30.06 on my Newfoundland hunt. Shot was 228 yards.


The guides were laughing, one evening in camp, about how American hunters come up there with these big magnum rifles. They said that they would rather see a guy come into camp with a .270, 30.06 or .308.

They said that a big majority of the hunters that come to camp with a big cannon, can't shoot it. Some can, but most can't.


They said when a guy comes with a smaller rifle, they feel better because usually that guy knows how to shoot it.


Just passing on what we were told when we went.
