Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles 30-06 is still a great cartridge

Damn right it's a great cartridge, the 375 H&H of the small bores, with a 200gr Partition at 2725 fps, I don't know of any conus game animal I couldn't tackle to a long 400 yards.

The 375 of small bores is relatively apt as a 220 gr Partition froma 30-06 will typically penetrate at least as well as a 300 gr Partition in the .375. And most times a bit better.

That says an awful lot about the grand ol cartridge. No wonder it seems like i always have at least 4 in the safe. I'll never be without one.

Maybe you and Safariman should hook up. You might could ass shoot some bears in the next zip code and slap each other on the back, congratulating yourselves for being smart enough to use those big, flat shooting, hard hitting magnums to insure your success.
[/quote].....................Look you dumb lying SOB..... After my original post on this thread, you accused me of being un-ethical in the field by referring to do me as being more concerned with my cartridge as making some kind of a "fashion statement" rather than making sure I have a dead critter doing a proper job in the field...

There was NOTHING mentioned in my original post that warranted that kind of reply from you. NOTHING!.....Instead what you post in reply, is nothing more than knee jerk crap and assumptions accusing me of something that I have never done and would never do in the field.......

Seems to me there Blackie, that you just do not like guys who use magnums rounds? And you assume therefore that all we or I are doing is making fashion statements with our choice of cartridge without any concern for making ethical kills???

Well rather than accuse me of being un-ethical, why don't ya just come right out and say it...."I do not like guys who use magnum rounds for hunting because of,,,,and state your case rather than make a ridiculous and un-true accusation??? You obviously were not mature enough to do that right??? I guess not...

Using magnums triggers a lot of people on here.

Dang, good to know, I do use the 220 NPT's in an old 300 H&H with receiver peep, they loaf along at 2700 fps.

BSA, yes, I only have one '06 right now, but it's not leaving.

The 30-06 is old and boring, the same could be said about me too I suppose. I've owned about 6 in my life and pulled the barrels and eventually turned them into something else. The last rifle I had built, last fall, is a 30-06 on a Win 70 action. Just can't see not owning one for whatever I may encounter in the future. I debated about going 300 WM but the '06 will do what ever I need to do, I just may need to get a bit closer...they do call it hunting and not "shooting" right? A close friend just spend $210 on three boxes of 338 ammo for an upcoming brown bear hunt, if I were going, I'd be using my '06!

I first got a .30'06 in 1988 because I was going elk hunting that fall and wanted a new rifle. I killed my biggest elk both weight and antler wise on opening day of the season. A couple of weeks later I killed a coyote and my biggest W/T buck with it all with one shot each. I bought several more over the years just because of the rifles they were chambered in but all have been solid performers. I even found a pre '64 M70 Target and used it in Highpower Rifle Competition, even winning some medals and cash. I've since sold some so now I'm down to 7 if I haven't overlooked any. I can't remember using more than one shot per animal and the '06 has furnished me with one shot drops on both elk and deer, never loosing an animal, and won a match or two. I guess I could be called a fan huh?

Go ahead and lie some more clown!

There it is retard. Do yourself a favor and go get a psych evaluation.

Yes there is. See my signature.

Agreed. I've been known to use my "elk loads" for deer and antelope on more than one occasion. Unnecessary, maybe, but they worked. For the one-gun guy it is still hard to beat the .30-06 for all-around versatility.

Col. Townsend Whelen said it best. "The 30-06 is never a mistake." I couldn't have sais it better.

.........I did exactly that to make sure....And there was a deletion...Ya know what there Blackie..That was quite cute. Yep.....A deliberate deletion...And how do I know? Simple...Because after u made that accusation towards me, I responded while looking at your accusatory CRAP directly above.....So I know damned well that your accusation towards me was in fact deleted........Again...Nice try.......

East side vs. West side. Yo!

Well you know what there bigsleaze. Now you're a goddam filfthy liar and fuggin insane or delusional to boot. I certainly did not delete anything from your quote of my post.
