[QUOTE="wallhangergun, post: 3040891, member: 120133"] I'm a big fan of the 30/06. Make plinker practice loads for it with 1/2 case of Buffalo Rifle (Trail Boss if you can afford it, the old 13 Red Dot works too) and whatever .308 junk bullets and primers you have laying around and develop a good full strength hunting load in the bullet weight you want to hunt with. I use factory 180 for hunting, they're crimped and they always go bang. If you do it right you can regulate your two loads to shoot in the same place at 50 yards. You don't feel recoil when you hunt anyway. The 30/06 is better than the .308 because you're got more room for your fingers in the magazine when it's cold and dark...that's my opinion, anyhow. I have a couple of old 03/A3 sporters with short barrels that have killed a lot of game. The most important part of the gun is the trigger, in my opinion. Practice from all positions, practice shooting quickly. Practice, practice, practice... [/QUOTE]
