Why on earth do you guys keep insisting that the 30-06 is any more versatile than any other round? I am curious to know. So what if you can get rounds with 55 grain bullets. They won' t shoot well out of most rifles. So what if you can get a 220 grain bullet. If you can' t do it with a 180 grain then you don' t need to be using a 30-06. A 30-06 may be a jack of all trades, but it really is a master of none. I can do anything with a 308 that can be done with a 30-06 with less recoil. I can do anything with a 270 with less recoil....The list goes on.
