Description
This is easily the most widespread hunting cartridge in the world although it has been pressed hard by the .308 in later years. Its case has a near optimum capacity for many bullet diameters and a large number of wildcats have been made using the .30-06 as a starting point.
With the wide range of bullets available – from 110 to 250 grains – it is an extremely flexible cartridge which has been used successfully for hunting almost every species of game in the world.
