Jake, put a decent bullet where it needs to be and it really doesn't matter, the results will be the same across the board, nothing wrong with an '06, but they try to make bullets to perform along a very wide range, from deer to elk to moose, in the smaller calibers the bullets are more or less centered on deer, I know they make 30 cal deer bullets but the percentage of strictly deer bullets is less in 30 cal. and why subject yourself to the recoil if you don't have to. the last buck I killed with the 6mm was 403 yards, held 6" over his back at the shoulder and he piled up in 30 yards, why do I need an '06 which burns 20 gr. more powder to do its job?
