"not everyone is foolishly loyal to 100 year old junk cartridges deal with it dont pout and whine like a little girl "
Just re-read your post Big Chief, A cartridge doesn't become one of the most popular in North America and live to be 100 by being junk.........
I have used a .30-06 for hunting my whole life everything from coyote's to moose and caribou, I live in Northern Canada and this rifle has proven it self for me more times than I can count there are alot of great rounds out there but to me and many folks I hunt with the 06 is a great round for just about anything that walks in front of you, including school children who should be studying for there spelling test instead of wasting there time on the net talking about something they have no knowledge of.
