I like all the metaphors I read of the 30-06. "If you can't kill it with a 30-06 you should hide. "

And then Phil Shoemakers dumbass metaphor about the 30-06 and marksmanship.

220 grain bullets from the 30-06 aren't all that special. But Elmer Keith already told yall so.

When animals get really big, there are better choices, rather than reciting "mangina metaphors". 338-06, 35 whelen, 9.3x62 Mauser, these are the standard cartridges that don't need to hide behind metaphors.

Be reasonable here, metaphors and opinions have nothing to do with reality.

4 well aimed kill shots from a 30-06 using 220 grain woodlieghs, piss poor results. These are the kind of bulls that gore and trample the largest of brown bears to mince meat pancakes:

11:43 the shooting begins:
