AMEN
And the 7X57 175gr RN
Maybe we should start a club. Peep Sights and RN. I know it would be more fun than 12x and BT.
AMEN
And the 7X57 175gr RN
AND that's because the 30-06 is over gunned for more than 99% of what hunters use it for...All these years ... All these high tech bullets , high tech cartridges.... The lowly 30-06 still delivers ... with low tech fodder ..

No doubt, the 30-06 is a GREAT cartridge though!

Moose they blow a nice hole in them. Cant speak for the big bears. I know a fella that shot a 400lb black in AZ with a 220grn. Blew an exit hole out of it almost the size of a silver dollar.How do core lokts work on heavy bone like a moose or bear shoulder?
Off beat use for them was here in Va there was a season when one could shoot Rough Fish on specific dates,
so many would have swinging bridges stretched or used solid ones, even climb overhanging tree limbs using the
most common round = A 220 grain 30-06 fired in the water beside them or against rocks anywhere near them, they
would float down stream to the net men.
Then left over ammo was used in deer season which would devastate them of course, because even back then most
people were to poor to buy ammo a lot.
Now the Poor people have been eliminated from hunting by legislation raising the price of Hunting License to ridiculous levels
Plus these prices even prevent poor people from enjoying National Forest lakes with parking & fishing & camping fees
separating the poor folks out.
Keep the poor from hunting & the enemy has lost half the battle.
Sorry I got off subject at the end.
I like RN bullets ... 150gr RN in my 270
180gr RN in my 30-06
