Handloads and rifle of choice. Really, 06 is a perfect default. The military hit it early, and realized it was great for single targets but heavy.
If you load, it really opens up many choices. I want to hunt deer with an Enfield, and have well made .303 Brit I can. .300 Win handloads are half the price of your 06 factory. Someone wants to use a Carcano and can load for it, fine.
