Yeah. I can...

And not for any particular game animal, but for many circumstances where critters are shot the 30-06 is simply too much rifle. Flat land where the rural roads are laid out in township grids, and a school bus or feed and seed truck can pass by anytime call for a rifle that has easily frangible bullets.

There simply is no reliably frangible bullet available in .308 diameter.

Thus my decades long affair with the .243, and more lately the 25-06.
Nice, this will be the next liberal agenda. They will ban the 30-06 because it can kill school buses and seed and feed trucks.... Please elaborate with some stats that show school buses and trucks being shot with rifles, and the 30-06 being the most deadly/damaging...
