Anyone who claims the 30-06 is not effective has either not used one, or else is unwittingly commenting on their marksmanship.

LOL, please explain why the '06 is a "joke."

Getting back to the hunting use, I've had great success with the .30/06. Literally truckloads of game and pests. In fact there have been individual days when I've knocked dozens of pigs, one after another, and I've shot a lot of deer of several species, goats and other stuff with it. There are other calibres that will do as well - I've used some older than the .30/06 and some newer - but it does work well.

I don't have much use for WSMs though, I have to say. I can't see any benefit, and you usually lose a round in the mag, which is not a factor if you are just going to shoot one animal, but is a downside when you want to shoot a mob of them. If I want more than the .30/06 offers I'll go to a bigger bore. I suspect our man is just trolling though.

That's the guy who was on here bragging about shooting his client's bear in the ass. I remember him laugh

I mean, if you're into having another man ass-shoot your bear, I'm sure there's none better.

Well, if you want an inferior hunting cartridge that gets you into the nostalgia nuthugger group, it might be just the joke for you!



Yep, that's what I thought. Nothing but bullshyte and blather. And if there was any doubt, your comments about Phill Shoemaker removed the last traces of it.



A wise man is frequently humbled.

With that there the prosecution closes its case, and you are found guilty of incredible stupidity.


Llama Bob, you are the joke.

Nah I'm sure it was Phil Shoemaker. Not to say he's the only one who's gone pro at shooting bears in the ass.

As I recall though he didn't shoot it in the ass with a 30-06, which will disapoint the nuthuggers here.

I agree with everything you say, but you meant to say 303 British. With bullet and powder advances, I would say the 303 British is perfect for all the world's hunting.

Great topic!

As great as the -06 case has been, I would submit the 264/338/458 win mag case to be even better for all around the world.

Love the 06. Have 2 and never feel under gunned.
Wish I had more calibers based on it , besides just the 270 which has been stellar,
If I were to start over I’d get everyone one these on top of that I got
6.5-06, 280 ai, 338-06, 35w


All of them do something better than the 30-06, but none of them do everything as well.

This was a different thread in the Alaska forum, where Mr. Shoemaker was explaining how he shot the client's bear in the ass. He thought it proved something about bullet construction, but mostly he just came across as pathetic. Who would have though we have TWO professional ass shooters on the same forum though?

I'm not the hugest fan of that series since it's cause the proliferation of unnecissay belts, but the -06 can't hold a candle to it.

That looks like more of an amateur ass shoot. Phil's a pro - they should have called him in to ass shoot that bear right laugh

I am continually astounded at how quickly people make up their minds on little evidence or none at all.
