Great write up, Al.
I have to say the 30-06 is my go to rifle. From Alaska to Florida, I've takenmany kinds of game, to me it's a never fail caliber, if I do my job.
For hogs here in Florida, I prefer a 180 gr, by ... whoever. I like the Remington Corelokt, but I'm not choosy. As long as I domy job and assure the shot is whereI want it , the '06 will darn sure do it's job.
