Hathcock used a 30-06? I am not sure, Maybe. I know alot of snipers used blackpowder rifles in the 19th centery, but that doesnt' mean its the round to use. Or the rifle. Thanks for the correction Cisco. But you might have noticed most rifles marked as "tactical" these days don't come in a 30-06 case. I mean really what would be the need for the long action case for distances under supersonic?
