[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 2862332, member: 12443"] On display in our PA camp are a Grizzly, a bull Moose, and a Dall sheep. All shot by my father in 1952 while on a 30 day Yukon hunt. The 30 day guided hunt by the way cost each hunter $1500. About the same price as a new Chevy in 1952. Two other hunters on the trip also shot the same animals. All the animals were shot including the sheep, at distances that didnt exceed about 100 yards. All 3 hunters used the 30/06 cartridge. My fathers animals were all killed with one shot from the 30/06 using a 180 gr. round nose Hornady bullet, loaded with 50 gr of 3031. So my question would be, if were going to be hunting with an 06 at close range, why do we need it to be an AI version? My guess would also be that if the 300 Win Mag were available in 1952, my father and his friends would have probably all had them. [/QUOTE]
