I hate to say this is the first season I haven’t owned a 30-‘06. I filled my tag with my 6.5 Creedmoor this year and my 280AI was back up. I will have another ‘06 and it’s just a matter of time. It’s truly hard to beat a 30-‘06 for deer hunting when you stoke it with 150-165 gr cup and cores at reasonable velocity. My favorites are 150 partitions around 2900 and 165 inter loks at about 2800 and change.
