[QUOTE="MoBoost, post: 1285248, member: 3455"] Not to take anything from 30-06, but it was developed to engage humans at 2800 yards (at least that was the theory back then). The parent 7x57 is hard to beat, and 30-06 was the magnum of its time! At 200-300 yards modern bullet will do just a good of a job with half the recoil. Yes, you can play macho "grow up"/"man up" games - but I believe shooting should not be unpleasant for that reason alone. [/QUOTE]
