If you can't kill it with an 06 then it's probably already dead.

I'll take a 300 any over an 06 anyday. The flat trajectory of a magnum is reason enough to own one. I've never owned an 06 and never will. Why handicap yourself?
Why deal with the extra cost and recoil of a magnum when you don't need to? 10% more muzzle velocity and 1.5" less drop @ 300 yards doesn't strike me as particularly significant.

I'd be willing to bet many of your Magnum-toting "recent immigrants" would actually do better work with the Krag.
...most .30-'06 rifles nowadays, in my experience, are being manufactured with twist rates from 1-12" to 1-14", for better long-range performance with lighter bullets.
