A superb choice for long-range medium game. The high ballistic coefficient of the bronze insert produces a flat trajectory and maintains high velocity and energy at extreme ranges. Yet on impact, the tip is driven backward to create rapid expansion that is controlled to optimum limits by the pre-grooved jacket, even on thin-skinned game. The tip also protects the bullet nose from being deformed by recoil while in the magazine.

particular item.
Properly "Caliber 30 Model of 1906," the 30-06 was developed at Springfield Armory for the 1903 Springfield rifle. The original 1903 cartridge, though very similar, used a round-nosed 220-grain bullet; the 1906 version used a 150-grain spitzer bullet with a slightly shorter case neck and case length of 2.494-inches. The 30-06, in Springfield, 1917 Enfield, and M1 Garand rifles, remained America's service cartridge through the Korean War. It was the most powerful cartridge ever adopted by a major military, and over time became America's most popular hunting cartridge. Today there are many good choices, but the 30-06 remains extremely popular throughout the world, suited for most North American big game and equally effective for African plains game. The most common standard loads today feature: 150-grain bullet at 2910 feet per second; 165-grain bullet at 2800 fps; and 180-grain bullet at 2700 fps. Choices in both rifles and ammunition are almost limitless.
