30-06 Ammo For Sale
History of 30-06 Ammo
In 1906, the U.S. Army adopted the .30-06 to keep up with the advancing technology of firearms and ammunition. For the next half-century, the U.S. military based its primary battle rifles on this cartridge. Although created for battle, the .30-06 was also rapidly accepted by civilian shooters and hunters. The United States Army continued to use the round well into the 1980s, and it is still a prized round of civilians.

I was shooting these bare eyed at 400 yards. from a remington bolt action. I was shooting from a bench. It took me 6 rounds to register were I wanted and then shot 50 more rounds with little deflection. Good stuff.
