The venerable .30-06 is a truly kick-ass cartridge.
This girl is amazing, she remained calm and took her shot.
As for the 30-06 it’s a great round, but there’s not much a 30-06 can do that the 308 can’t. The ballistics are extremely close unless, and you only gain with 06 at very very long ranges. The availability of 308 makes it lucrative.
30-06 was my EDC carry rifle when stationed in Alaska back in 70’s. The gun shops were full of 375 H&H’s etc ,,All used, traded in for an ought six ..... yet a controlled round feed with 220 grain heavy was the best all round ticket . I knew I wasn’t in Oz anymore when issued a SW model 29 vs the Standard M15 Smith for my survival vest.
Hey slim did yer house cat get out again ?
