Best All Around Round?

"...going into the Coast Guard..." Get through Basic Training before you worry about anything else. Needs of the Service outweigh anything you want. You could end up back in Florida. However, the .30-06 will kill any game in North America, big bears included with a change of bullet.
 
Most Alaska bushkins use .30-06s or smaller. Magnums get more popular the closer you get to the gravitational pull of Los Anchorage orbit.
 
Enjoy the Coast Guard, Thanks. The 30-06 is fine, I use a 308.

1.5" groups at 300 yrds from a 710? Maybe you could show me your methods?

My best friend was stationed at Coos Bay, OR for 3 years in late 1980's. He hunted elk and blacktail deer with his Stevens bolt action 30-30. None got away.

He is now retired and working in Tigard. He still hunts with the older 30-30.

Good hunting to you!
