Long range hunting: 7mm-08 vs. 30-06?

[Kachok]

You might say I'm not a marksman if I can't make a clean kill every time from 400 yds. OK I can accept that, however IMO you aren't a hunter if you can't get within 300 yds.

+1 I have walked upright across a wide open field and walked within 150 yards of a pair of deer with them watching me the whole time, not saying an old buck or a mulie would let me do that but I think long range hunting is largely unnecessary. 400 yards is not unrealistic though if you are talking open terrain and skittish deer.
