It is one of those inherently accurate rounds that shoot tight groups with a variety of bullets and powders. The 6.5 X 55 Swede is another.

Everybody that shoots one loves it. Takes a long action, but unless you are trying to convert a standard length Mauser, it's not an issue. As mentioned above, smooth feeding.

The .30-06 is a benchmark. Nobody can throw stones at it. Another round might be faster, another might shoot heavier bullets, the third is slower, etc. but everyone knows the .30-06 is an effective round on nearly everything that won't eat or stomp you, and has done a good job on most of them over the years.
