  • Summary

  • Today I'm talking about a cartridge that's nearly 120 years old but still relevant today: the .30-06. The characteristics of the .30-06 make it perfect for your first big game hunting rifle. That's why I chose it for mine. I discuss:


    • affordable and readily available ammo
    • manageable recoil
    • hunting elk with the .30-06
    • why the .30-06 works well with cup-and-core bullets
    • the .30-06 vs. the .308
    • maximum point blank range
    • bullet weights
    • ammo capacity and feeding
    • other great cartridges for your first big game rifle


    After reviewing the cartridge, I like the .30-06 even more. There's not much it can't do.
