Above are my brothers shooting some long range plates with my 1903 30-06.
60 grains of AR2209 pushes a 150 gr boatail out of this rifle at 3000 fps.
Good cartridge that will deal to anything in NZ. Generally feeds quite nicely too, being long and tapered/small neck.
More versatile than .270 due to bullet choice.
Recoil can be hard but anything can be gotten used to with practise or a suppressor.
Popular too, pretty much any sports shop will usually have a packet of rounds on the shelf.
So yeah I'm a fan.

Is that a real, actual, genuine Unertl 8x minus it's recoil spring on an 03A1? 
10MRT shooters do it 60 times, in two directions and at two speeds.

It's actually a 10x which is externally identical. The recoil spring was removed as per USMC ww2 specs as they found sand would jam the recoil spring. You just have to pull the scope back after each shot! Originally Posted by ishoot10s

Fantastic historic setup. Great to see it gets out for a blast now and then, well done! Originally Posted by FRST
