Okay then...you started it!
wooden box, bit of 2x1 and a piece of string and a few grain pellets ...
Lift box, find live too. Get out knife. Grab roo. Roo fights back...pushes you on box. Trip over. Pick up knife, throw it at roo. Miss.
Go to Ute. Get 30-06. Shoot the bastard at 400m. No head. Keep legs and straps. Reset box.
So Tassie Tiger its buy a 300wsm now not a 30-06 or you'll be over gunned

I read somewhere in a book now, that with modern boat tail projectiles and ballistic hunting tips, the 06 hits with more energy at 500 yards, than the 300wsm at 100 yards with older style slugs.

I would like to see the data, are you saying that with a 180 grain boat tail the 30/06 has more energy at 500 than a 180 grain round nosed bullet from the WSM at 100? I am sure you don't believe this.
You also might be surprised how capable the 270 is, at 500 metres it has a ballistic advantage over the 30/06. They are both very capable cartridges and neither kick like a 45/70.

Here was where I saw the details about the 06 vs 300;
