Ive only used one a few times as a kid but lately im reintroducing myself to the 30-06. Ive no real use with running it with lighter bullets as ive already got a 308win, 270, and 280 to do such duty. To me i want to make the 30-06 my one and done 200gr Partition launcher for elk. Its fairly thick where im at compared to the rest of the intermountain west and why not have a bit more horsepower and good penetration when at times you run into elk at essentially archery distances. Theres also more of Montana's grizzly bears showing up here and if your seeing 5 of them in a day then its time to step up the jorsepower and pack the heat so to speak. I have a couple 45-70 leverguns but im now exploring bolt actions. Ive also got my favorite rifle in the form of Ruger's compact rifle 338RCM. Its the best ive had in a bolt gun but i wanted a really common case component and caliber as an elk rifle and ibhope that 30-06 is the ticket.
