RE: Whats your Preference?
i guess before anyone can really make any sudgestions we would need to know where you hunt. whats it like. flat open area or thick ass tangled mess. big timber. pole lines. and so on. with any of those conditions an '06 would suit you just fine. i just prefer those big 35 cal bullets of my whelens up here cuz it is nastythick woodswe dont get many if any standing orbroadside shots. when your trackin a big buck usually you shot is running away and i know that i can stuff one back in him some where and know that the bullet will penetrate all the way up through to the good stuff. plus all my rifles are carbines or short compact bolt actions and they mostall wear iron sights or a peep sight

holy **** im dumb. i just realizedthat albertianhuntress is a chica. lol dont take this in a bad way cuz im not shovenistic( i cant spell either) but i guess ide shy away from the .350 and the whelen. im sure you could easily handle them both but they are on the stout end of the recoil spectrum. like, in my gun vise they stillrock thebench backwards. my little sister uses a 6.5x55 sweed. excellent caliber. it fires a 140 gr. bullet at a modest2500/2600 fps but its an oddly long bullet design that really helps penetration. she dropped a 932lb bull moose in its tracks w/ one shot. plenty of wallop for almost anything in north america accept maybe the real big bears which i know it would handle but i wouldnt want to lay my life on it. you should look it up and read about it. pretty mild recoil as well. its basically a 260 rem.
