Especially if that .30-06 comes out of an M1 Garand.

The M1 is such a great rifle to shoot, and very accurate also.

I like the 30-06 or 308 (7.62X51) much better than the 5.56. Even something like a 243 has low recoil and is usually legal for deer (has some power). In 30-06 I like the Garand. In 308 I like the Springfield Armory M1A National Match, Loaded.

In his linked article about 5 most underrated cartridges he listed the 9.3mm. I shook my head on that one. Many fine 375 H&H Magnums that can easily be loaded down to 9.3 levels. There are many file (expensive) 375 H&Hs, but a CZ 550 American Magnum is affordable and shoots well.

I don't know why I took these out in the canoe!

.30-06 is the greatest of all rifle cartridges, as is .45 ACP.
