I've been fortunate to hunt a lot, and in a lot of very remote areas. Great memories! No matter where I go, there's 30-06 ammo available. Never said there weren't "better" cartridges and not comparing the 30-06 to other ones. As a tradesman of almost 40 years, I've seen a lot of new tools come out for the construction industry, some are great, some are not. I try them, but sometimes I just stick with the tried and true!
