Well, if you "really" was an 30-06 lover as your name implies, you wouldn't have to ask!!! :>)

I know which one im going to use, it would be the 30-06. I wanted to know what other people would use if they had these choices[:@]

The 30.06 with a 180 grain, round nose bullet. Stay away from the pointed soft point or plastic tipped bullets. The round nose is less likley to be diverted by brush you didn't see before you touched off the round. The pointed varities tend to deflect or begin to expand on contact with anything between the barrel and target.
