It's really to each his own on a subject like this. And really, variety is the spice of life. If everybody used an '06 we'd be dull hunters (albeit 99% happy!).
I'm in the middle based on my hunting style -- and use an '06 w/180 gr bullets. I don't recommend the 22 holes nor the magnums for most big game animals.
Could go the other way and say: "Man, you should give the game a chance and use the new .15 PemOff rimfire".
I could be swayed to use a magnum if I needed the extra yardage though. I'd rather have too much gun than not enough -- you owe it to your game to take them cleanly. As long as the hunter is satisfied, including unnecessary meat damage from magnums or bad shots, that's all that really matters, Waidmannsheil, Dom.
