I am now annoyed, I clearly put Nuff Said!
Clearly that is not being honored:
Ok, if that's what it takes:
(I will unleash emoto cons)
Of course there are better, want to plink, can't beat 22LR
Want to kill Varmints at 300 yds, nothing beats the 222.
You want to take an elephant or dangerous game down (Cape Buff), 458 Win Mag, 416 Jeffries etc
You want to do it all, 30-06 is the one. Not your first choice for casual plinking (though there are cast lead rounds that do that nicely) but you can do it. You sure are not going to use a 458 WM for plinking, or varmint, or deer, or moose or Elk or black bear (fine for a Brown Bear)
So I say its the kind of the mountain. 30 cal rules the world and you can use all those choices in a 30-06. No other cartridge has that option.
