Overview 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.

Very difficult to load en bloc clip with this ammo. Took to gunsmith to see if garand was the problem, no issues. could see where the tip of the FMJ ammo was scrapping the inside of the receiver and causing interference. Loaded enbloc up with some soft point ammo and no problems.

Breaking in a new barrel on a Garand. Fired twenty rounds at 50 yards. Most 3 shot groups had two very close and a third within an inch. I would definitely purchase this ammo again.

There's never been a reason to change the ammo that I've been shooting, and if the deer mounts on my wall could speak, they would say the same thing...
