Never a mistake...
As it's been oft quoted here on TFL as the classic, timeless words of "Mister Rifleman" at different times, Townsend Whelen called it exactly right: "THE 30-06 IS NEVER A MISTAKE."
I own three; a very nicely sporterized U.S. Model of 1917 ('18 vintage) with Redfield Olympic receiver sights, a "like new" condition, walnut stocked, 1968 vintage M700 ADL, and a 1996 year of mfg. M700 ADL with the parkerized finish and syn-stock. All quite accurate, and all these dogs, "Do Hunt."
Hornady bullets, 165s, 180s and 190s are what they use, and IMR 4350 and Varget is what pushes them. All good, all around.
'06s do rule, no guff...
