I would go the way of the 270win
.30-06 is the ultimate rifle round. It is more than capable of taking any game on earth within reasonable distances.
It is what brought us into the spitzer bullet era, and upon it's adoption and subsequent modernization in 1906.
It has earned it's legend in WW1, WW2, Korea, and Vietnam.
You can still find lots of AP, tracer, and incendiary loadings

Correct. 30-06 even when compared to more modern cartridges, is a great choice for bridging that gap between none magnum and magnum performance. Look at the 338-06. It failed marketing wise but if you look at its ballistics holy smokes was it good.
And you put a 200-220 grain bullet in an 06 hot load you don’t really need a magnum. Here’s the thing…debating a few inches matters on paper but how much does a few inches really matter? You get a good shooter and you want energy down range and ammo should be cost effective…the 30-06 gives you all that vs using a magnum

What do you like about 270win?
It took you long enough. When I typed that I was trying to bait you out.
I was going to start talking about 30 Super Carry if you didn’t reply in another hour or so.

Referring to a caliber that was adopted in 1906 as a boomer caliber makes you appear to be a crayon eater. My Great Grandfather was issued a 30.06. His son a 30 carbine, his son a 308. Must of us boomers, the 556. So what would be the boomer caliber? Your generation would be the airsoft caliber. The .06, like its predecessor the 45-70, are still used by many hunters, yes I know the 30-40, and 30.03 were in between. It has just recently outlived it's military use. The last batch of LC ammo was 2002. Due to its potent ballistics, and still readily available milsurp ammo it, lives on. And ya don't need dies to shot it.Why are we always on TGT at the same time?
Also, 30-06 is a boomer caliber. I don't buy it and I have no reloading dies, etc for it.

30 ought 6 is a man's cartridge but you can't call yourself that can you you're too lightweight to shoot a 30 ought 6Boomer caliber.
I remember the wimps in Basic at Ft Polk who thought an M14 was too heavy and 7.62 recoil was too much for them.

My uncle carried an M14 on his first tour Vietnam back during the 60s M16 the second tour he hated the M16
I was issued an M14 in Korea and a M16 in Vietnam. You can tell it's Mattel, it's swell!
