[QUOTE="41magnut, post: 1925788, member: 94730"] I can't disagree with this except, [B]"..not much of a '06 fan because it's kind of a pretender - not really a magnum but more than a 308.[/B]" [B]I believe this is the "06 strong suit, not a magnum.[/B] Horse power (read: powder capacity) to sent projectiles - 110 grain to 220 grain - down range with sufficient velocity for a modern projectile in the boiler works to dispatch any North American game, as well as most game world wide cleanly. 30/06 and 308W are neck an neck until one choices to go to the heavier projectiles, edge to the '06 for the one gun hunter. Not so much recoil (7# to 9# rifle) that majority of hunters cannot shoot proficiently. As stated above, projectile selection for prairie dogs to the big bears. Modern projectiles, and propellants, should breath new life into the '06 and other legacy cartridges. In the interest of full disclosure, I am a supporter of the 30/06. Over my lifetime I have heard the siren song of numerous new girl(s) in town. I own and hunt with numerous rifle platforms and cartridges. Variety is the spice of life. [/QUOTE]
