.30-06

The 30-06 match, or .30-06 Springfield cartridge (pronounced “thirty-ought-six”), 7.62×63mm in metric notation and called “.30 Gov’t ’06” by Winchester is just fine for the largest whitetail and mule deer, elk, black bear, and moose hunting. 30-06 is probably better and more versatile than it ever was. With a good 150-grain bullet it shoots flat enough for just about any deer hunting you can think of and is just fine for the largest whitetail and mule deer. With a 180-grain bullet it’s awesome for elk, black bear, and moose.
