The 06 has kilt more mammals than all the other chamberings combined.....Lalalalala hands over ears. Don’t care. The 30-06 sucks.

I've shot 220s this year, 165s, and 150s.
Just because.

Load that sling shot with 6.5 mm BB’s and you’re golden. If I was in Bear Country and had one stuffed with 220g partitions. I would sleep very well.
Other than that, I’d almost rather have a sling shot.

Yea, I don't like em either, there's nothing to like. Only problem is if I had to get rid of all my rifles except one, my ol' 700 in 30-06 would be the last one to go. I haven't even shot the thing in probably 15 years, it just sits there, but it ain't going anywhere.

30/06? ah hell no, but if someone were to neck up a 270 to 30, yeah man, that's the schit. Oh! You mean the .30 Govt 1903! Now that was a real manly man's cartridge, 220 grs. of kick-ass. Then they had to cut 'er down for the 30-03 short, the 30-06, and use that puny pointy 150 gr. bullet. That's where things went south.

Regardless of what your opinion of the caliber...when was the last time anyone used the word "aught" in a different context. You aught to know that!

Middle of the road caliber, about as exciting as white bread. All the gun makers had to flood the market with them since it was a common military cartridge and ammo was cheap for all the cheap MFs that like cheap ammo. Tweener cartridge if there ever was one. To little for elephants and too big for ducks. I don't see the point. I'm going to buck the crowd and stick with my .264 Creedmoor.
I had two friends who culled elephant in Rhodesia with push-feed Mdl 70s in 30-06. Hunt ducks with an '06 loaded with a 32 acp in a chamber insert. Now there's an idea....never thought of that. If I had an 06 I'd look into that. But I would never own such a boring tweener.

I like most rifles and most cartridges, never could see spending time or energy on feelings about inanimate objects.

My out of the box Browning A-bolt Stalker will shoot .375" groups with my 180 grain reloads and 1" groups with store bought ammo. Will your .264 Creedmoor?

Something about retrieving gerbils? Who knows? Load that sling shot with 6.5 mm BB’s and you’re golden. If I was in Bear Country and had one stuffed with 220g partitions. I would sleep very well.

I have one I should really be interested in, but it just sits in the safe.
