Agree.
Or you could say the .300 will do anything the 06 will do and will keep doing it past 1000 if you ever want to shoot some LR steel.
The .300 with 168s is fast to 600 or so and the 210s still pack a good bit past 1000.
If you are talking one rifle for hunting or play the .300 will do it all.
That said I shoot 6.5 Creedmoor,.308,and 7mm-08.
I don't care for the recoil or expense of the magnum calibers or the barrel burning of the fast wildcats anymore but there is no doubt what they will do.
