Me? With a 30-06, I've used it for groundhogs (with sabotted .223 loads) , coyote, hog, and whitetail. I've also plinked with cat-sneeze cast loads.
I don't mean to throw shade on the 38-55, but I do think it's not as versatile a chambering. Even 30-30 (from the 38-55 case) is a more versatile cartridge. Most of that is from the amount of factory bullet offerings, but there's also a lot more molds for 30-somethings out there.
Gnoahhh, I'm hard pressed to ever say you're wrong on anything. You are one of the 'Campers I most respect. However, I must say you're take on the subject is eccentric.
