I have a friend up North that kills Elk and Deer at 750 yards dead, but that's with a 300 WSM and a break. I had no desire to carry around a gun in the field with a muzzle break and I don't enjoy the kick of a 300 mag so I stuck with a 30-06 with no break. I can shoot it on the range and it's still enjoyable. Muzzle breaks are really hard on your hearing and I'm not wearing ear protection in the field.

30-06 is a great round! Perfect hunting round!
I actually have 6 Suppressors..... (in possession or waiting on the stamp) use them on everything including the 6.5 Creedmoor....and on down to my little Tactical Solutions .22 rifle. Shooting that little .22 with GemTech subsonic 40 grain ammo is a hoot. It just "spits" -- the loudest thing is the cycling. LOL
GemTech GM-22 for the .22
SureFire SOCOM 7.62 with quick disconnect for the 3 AR's (shoot Atomic Subsonic .223 rounds -- you can hear the bullet whistling thru the air!)
GemTech GM-9 -- for my HK Vp9 "tactical" (goofy threads so is dedicated)
GemTech GM-9 -- for my HK SP5K 9mm 3 lug
AWC "Thor PSR" 30 cal for the 6.5 Creedmoor
SureFire SOCOM RC2 for the 22-250
