JOC also wrote about [don't remember which book] the spooky accuracy of some 200 grain bullet in his 30-06. Perhaps it was the Partition. I believe he was so enthralled with the tiny groups that he expended all his supply in 'group shooting'.
For what it's worth, JOC was a very big fan of the 30-06.
Damn, All this "Jack" talk is gettin' me emotional, he's the reason I shoot a 280 as my light rifle. Told me ftf "the 280 is a better caliber"
FWIW , When on Safari, Eleanor shot a 30-06 w/ 200 gr Speer ptd. as her light, and touched off a 375 H&H on Buff,Rhino,& Tuskers.
For all US game her Favorite was the std 257 Roderts
