Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting Any love for the 30/06

I’m more of a rifle guy than a cartridge guy anymore. If I find a rifle I like or decide I want to use the chambering doesn’t matter a whole lot. With the 06 being probably the most common cartridge in bolt action rifles for the last century it stands to reason that I have a fleet of them in neat old rifles. And everything I have gets hunted at least occasionally.

I took a renewed interest in my old 1955 Featherweight last fall and used it for both of my rifle deer hunts and one elk season. Didn’t kill an elk but I did shoot a couple nice bucks. One Sierra 165 over some 4895 was enough for each buck.
