Well well I guess if you just go around and skull f**k everything you shoot it probably is.... MB Sincere ? Bob. Are you dissing the 06 as a Great Cartridge ? I did NOT go back to see if you were referencing another post per the .223. Please clarify for me. Jerry

Mike - I ?thot? so but.....
I'm NOT a 223 Deer Hunting Rifle fan either. I've killed WT with a 22 M (euthanasia), and COWS & HORSES with a 22 rf. They will kill em but.
I don't choose to go the 'minimalist' route.

never without a 30-06 may not hunt with it every year but always have one, current 30-06 is a tang safety Ruger 77 in a Bell & Carlson stock and a 3x9 Leupold, just like Finn Aagard thought was perfect.

No J Wall I'm an 06 fan but that crack about it being over powered I thought was somewhat ludicris. I also think one needs to place a 223 slug pretty damn carefully if you are going to use it on deer. I've used a lot of different cartridges on deer and first and foremost is proper bullet placement of adequate bullet. MB

It doesn’t do the same thing though ... it’s slower In the real world (on game) it does the same thing... I've used both extensively on a fair bit of game bigger than deer, and have found that to be the case.

And I've heard many times the .300 Savage is just as good on game as the .308 so in essence the .300 Savage=.30-06. And of course that would hold true on all game at all ranges.

Well, the .300 Savage was designed to offer .30/06 ballistics (those of the original military load at least, which was on the mild side compared to some more modern loads) in a more compact form. So for that matter was the .308. With something like a 150 gn bullet on medium game the actual difference is really more theoretical than actual, it seems to me. The difference in recoil is more theoretical than real too, and any of them can be throttled back if recoil's an issue. The larger case of the .30/06 seems to put it ahead by a significant margin with heavy bullets, for those who use them.

Make mine a 300 savage then. Its every bit as good as the 308 and the 30-06. Those bigger rounds are far too over rated.... Hell, the 300 savage may even put a good whooping on the 300 magnums as well...

17, Looks like you were joking.. Finn spent the last years of his life shooting stuff in Tx.. probably over bait... Nothing wrong with that, but you can sure place a shot under those conditions..

If an American doesn't like the 30-06, they wouldn't salute the flag either!
