.30-06 vs .375 H&H Magnum

Jack O'Conner always said if he could only have one rifle to hunt the world it would be the 375 h&h. If he could have two the other would be the 270 Winchester. With today's powders I bet he would choose the 30-06. I know I would.
Jack O'Conner shot a lot of game with his 30-06. He wrote of shooting other game, particularly sheep, with a 270 Winchester. Jack also liked the 7x57, another ancient cartridge.

No gun or ammunition manufacturer was paying for full page magazine adds for 30-06's.
 
The only people who don't respect the effectiveness of the '06 are those who haven't used it. Its a very capable cartridge!

Trying to be a bridge between Eastern and Western schools of conservation.
From India, based in Hungary.
Nugget here. A guide gave me the nickname as I looked similar to Nugent at the time. Hunting for over 50 years yet I am new to hunting in another country and its inherent game species. I plan to do archery. I have not yet ruled out the long iron as a tag-along for a stalk. I am still deciding on a short list of game. Not a marksman but better than average with powder and string.
