I got the idea from @horsemen61 's "Happy 6/5 day" thread
Coming on the heals of celebrating our independence, it seems like a perfect time to recognize the virtues of the .30 caliber in all it's forms, with special emphasis on those that have kept this country, and the world, safe from the enemies of freedom. They include:
.30-40 Krag
.30-06
.30 Carbine
7.62 NATO
.300 Win Mag
And when it comes to sportsmen, is there a caliber that's killed more game than the .30 cal? I don't think so. Over the last 100 years, how many times have freezers been filled using the following cartridges:
.308
.30-06
.30-30
.300 Win Mag
.300 WSM
.300 Savage
.300 Weatherby Mag
.300 H&H
.308 Norma Mag
I'll just go ahead and make the argument that the .30 cal has been and continues to be the most significant projectile ever devised since the advent of firearms. It's not even debatable.
So happy 7/6 day. If you don't own one you're wrong.
