It is far from my favorite hunting cartridge, but the 30-06 is no more obsolete than diesel fuel.
YEP. The thing I really like about the 06 is, it doesn't kill anything TOO dead and WILL kill anything in the USA without doubt.
I think of the 06 similarity to Nosler Partitions - dependable ! !

And if you load an 06 with Partitions it is double dependable....... Yet by modern standards a complete bore. Only place it is not completely effective is in the "Lead free" zones!!!!!!
