I have never used anything but 30-06 for big game hunting, but I have also not taken many shots outside the range of peep sights and I think the .45 Colt cartridge is enough to get the job done. I recall Dr. Higgins saying this round will go through a deer lengthwise.

When my grandfather passed, he had a single-shot 30-06 with no scope, for big game hunting. According to legend, he had never needed more than one shot to kill a deer or elk. He killed a lot of them. Based on my knowledge of him and my father and his brothers, this story is believable.
