What have you started.

But back to topic, 30-06.

I have a bet with a buddy of mine...

Both are great but if only one the 30-06

.270 Winchester, any day of the week, in Remington 700 of course.

270 will get it done, but if I can only have one I'll take the 30-06.

Own both, but if it were only one the 30-06 would be the one.

,270's a great round, no doubt, but I had to go with .30-06. I can get core-lokts from 125 to 220gr and take care of just about anything.

Difficult question but 30-06 my choice.

For game smaller than elk, 270 hands down-the ballistics are simply better. Now if I planned on going after moose, griz, etc-then I'd go for the 30-06 of course.

.270, using Hornady Superformance Loads for Elk.

I like my 270 WSM. If not then just a plain 270.

We argue this every year, dont we?

I read once that there are 2 types of people that shoot the 30-06. Those that know nothing and those that know everything.

That being said, My first choice is my 270. I have used it on everything from elk down and the old girl never lets me down. I used 150 grain Nosler partition and 150 grain Barnes X on my first 2 elk and they both worked very well.

diffenitly 30.06 with hornady's for me.

On second thought-if I need that much gun, I'm going to go with a 7mm mag or 300 wsm rather than the 30-06.....

I've not owned either but have shot both. I would go with the 06 because of the wider variety of bullet weights.

I think it's more like every month.

What's next, Remington vs. Savage? Ford vs. Chevy?

That's next week.

Me personally, i would use whatever i owned at the time. LOL.

Next year I'm just going to throw rock's, Nosler has a new 6 ounce partition rock with great BC.

When the option is only 1, then it has to be the 30-06.

If you had said for whitetails only, I'd have taken the 270 over the 06 any day. But, if I'm going to shoot a 600+ pound animal, I'll take the bigger piece of lead anyday!

30-06 any day of the week.

I'm surprised this is as close as it is. .30-06 via versatility.
