Well, the biggest game I plan on going after is mule-deer in Cali and Oregon

Then why would you:
1) Spend way more money going to the range?
2) Inflict more recoil on yourself
3) Inflict more hearing damage on yourself. If, like most, you hunt without hearing protection.
I shot a friend's .300 Weatherby Mag in the field with no protection on. It took me almost a full day to get the ringing to stop. I someone gave me one, I would trade it in for something else.
30-06 does great on mulies and will also work for elk.
