ok so "once in a lifetime" may be a bit of a stretch... but anyone traveling for a destination hunt can fall into the "oh [beeep] where's the ammo" scenario. doesnt matter if you forgot to pack it, it gets soaked or if a carrier lost it along the way - an airline would NEVER lose your checked baggage right? - or UPS/FEDEX destroy's your shipped ammo box... whatever.
the theory still applies and holds true.
30-06 has been proven to take any game in north america and its the one of the few ammo types you can find basically everywhere in a pinch.

thanks for hammering my point home
