[QUOTE="ofbandg, post: 1629581, member: 91402"] I like the 30-06 and have owned several over the years. I also own and use a 30-06 AI. The difference between them is considerable. I get around 3200 fps with a 150 gr Hornady, (out of a 22 inch barrel), and I have never come close to that with the regular '06. At the same time I believe the regular '06 is a better hunting cartridge because it feeds and extracts more reliably. The straight walled cases are better shooters but cases with a bit more taper make better hunters. My kind of hunting is gritty, dirty, and quite often wet so close tolerances are not often the best fit, and this is what '06 style cases were designed for. A lot of modern hunting is focused on shooting and that is where our designs have gone in the past generation. The rifles and cartridges you use should be matched to the style of hunting you enjoy.
