There's no real answer for that question. It's like asking, blonde, brunette or redhead? Heck, I like them all! When it came time to marry and settle down I chose blonde and if forced to choose just one cartridge I wouldn't have any trouble settling down with a good '06. An old school 180 gr. Partition at near 2,800 fps covers a lot of country. It's the right combination of rifle size, weight, recoil, accuracy and economy. Been shooting a .30-06 since I was 16 and shoot it very well. That confidence is important.
