The .30-06 still stands as one of the best choices for all-around use on big game—particularly with modern projectiles and propellants.

From close up to 400 yards, it's superb. From little southern whitetails and pronghorn antelope to Alaska/Yukon moose, it's outstanding.

This episode takes a deep look into how to get the best performance your .30-06 is capable of.

Why the .30-06 became so popular in the first place What traditional cup-and-core bullets do so well out of the .30-06 How it is still relevant today How it kills with so much authority Where it's at it's best (out to 400 yards) and why Capability, shootability and recoil Factory ammo: broad-spectrum use Barrel life Picking modern loads with modern bullets Handloading tips for the .30-06 Classic bullets for use inside 300 yards Modern bullets for maximizing capability past 300 yards Best bullets for use on big elk, moose, and bear Rifle actions, barrel lengths, stock types, and scopes for use with .30-06

Final thought: It's not just about what you use, it's how you use it.

ENJOY!
