The 30-06 was the US's answer to competing with Germany's move to the 154 gr spitzer load in the 8x57. OUR M1 ball ammo gave a similar performance on the battlefield this was our military objective to achieve.We also found in WW1 that the 150gr loads did not give the long range that was needed for LR machine gun fire. Hence the development of theM2 load But I'm not going to review " Hatchers Notebook" here. ALL OF YOU WHO ARE 06 FANS SHOULD HAVE A COPY. It's a a factual and fascinating history of the 30-06. MB
