Home Forums Hunting & Shooting General Big Game "The 30-06 is obsolete!"

With the new bullets, i.e. LRAB, ELDX, Bergers etc and the newer powders i.e. Rl-17, Rl-26 etc the old 06 can even play the long range game.

It has many positives, long barrel life, relatively efficient, 1/10 twist barrels, handles the 200gr plus bullets much better than a 1/12 twist 308.

The truth is for normal hunting at normal ranges it is still hard to beat an 06 with Partition bullets.

It will never be obsolete.
