I think you're missing the 30-30 and .303 on that list Jack O Conner.
And, in most cases, excess power that is not needed for a humane kill.I am there with all the other 30-06 lovers.
Plenty of power for anything on the continent.
Deer and pigs make up the great majority of big game hunting. The "advantage" of versatility is debatable. For instance, I live in Michigan, I do not have any use for a cartridge that is "versatile" enough for the big Brown Bears...there aren't any here. A .243, 6MM Rem., or .257 Roberts are versatile enough for deer and varmints...what advantage would be had with a 30-06?Plus versatility. All the other so-called 'deer calibers' are nothing more than marketing gimmiks.
