I have a 30-06 that I use regularly to take caribou on the Alaska tundra. It is a great gun, fun to shoot, and fun to hunt with. I have taken caribou out to 400 yards with it. It is capable of a lot more in the right hands.
As much as I like to use this gun in Alaska, I'm not a fan of expanding the capability to Indiana. It would be really easy to make a mistake with that gun that would haunt me my entire life.
