...so a '06 will penetrate a tree and kill a whitetail standing behind it, but a 12 gauge shotgun slug will not?
I hunt an oak stand where my longest possible shot is 70yds. I used a 30-06 previously but my current rifle de'jour is a 260...which has 140gr bullets with higher sectional density than 180gr .308cal bullets which is helpful whenever you need to shoot through trees to kill your quarry.
