After the other recent thread on here re. cartridge overlaps, I reckon it comes down to .270 win or 30-06. My personal preference is .270 for faster / flatter, but for projectile options (especially...

blip - I'm about the same as you - 200- 250m is plenty. I like to be real certain that I'm actually shooting at an animal, and that I'll not cause any unnecessary suffering. I'm a softie like that.
