I had a German lefty mk v in .30-06 Springfield. Sub 1" groups at 100 yards with 3 shots from a cold barrel. After that the thin barrel heated up and the groups would open up a little bit. With that rifle I killed, deer, black bear, 1 charging lion, 1 leopard, many assorted African antelope and a couple of wart hogs and zebras. I lost it when my dad sold his ranch in Mexico. I wish I still had it.
Don't let anyone ever tell you the .30-06 can't do it all.
I've also seen a .460 Wby mk v drop a charging elephant dead before he hit the ground from a brain shot.
I still prefer claw extractor positive extraction bolt actions like the classic Mauser or Winchester model 70.
