Thread: 3006 questions

165 to 180gn projectiles is where the 30/06 does its best work. for the short barrel forget the 30/06 and go for the 308 IMO. 30/06 would be better served with a 22" barrel.

I dont know the answer to this but wouldn’t it depend on what sort if animals you are hunting ?

If you’re night shooting, did you choose a larger cart to help them fall on the spot and be easier to find ?

Just wondering if a flat shhooting bullet is better in the dark when ranging is uncertain ?

I’ll be interested to hear the advice of others more knowledgeable.
