What? Nobody said the 30-06? It has to be up there on the "iconic" list.
My mind, too, jumped first to the 30-30. I suspect, however, that more deer have been shot with the 30-06 than anything else (at least in the US)
Well yeah, this is the FIRST mention of the 06. I know there's at least 1 more.
I think the 270 is ALSO an iconic WT cartridge.
