Absolutely, necked down by .02 inches and everyone can't say enough good things about it, but the poor old 30-06 doesn't seem to get much love! Originally Posted by jakewire

I personally like the .30-06 for no really quantifiable reason.

[QUOTE=jakewire;143539]Well bugger me I bought a 30.06 that's been sitting on the second hand rack for some time, well over a year.
Everyone told me the 30 06 wasn't a patch on the 308 for accuracy.
Damn , somebody should have told this rifle.
nothing wrong with 30-06....if i recall right the germans were shocked in ww1 when the yanks arrived with them....very accurate at long range."I do not wish to be a pawn or canon fodder on the whims of MY Government"

That's only because they were used to the yanks using the crappy French things that jambed when they looked at mud.

I was always under the impression that NZ favoured the .303 with the cheap ex-army SMLE's and the US favoured the 30-06 for similar reasons?

I would probably use 208 A max if I had one, and spit the dummy if it didn't like them.

I have just loaded up some 125gn accubonds for the 308. If they go anything like the 140gn ABs I use in the 270win they will be the bomb.
Cronographed them at 3000fps from a 16" barrel T3 but yet to get out after game.
Will keep you posted....

165 gr Hornady BTSP interlocts in the 30-06 works up close and out far. Its a do all pill that doesn't make holes in your pocket
