Few cartridges stand the test of time like the iconic 30-06. Ahead of its time at its inception and even more potent today, the old ought-six is simply tough to beat. From war fighting to freezer filling, it is as historically significant as it is effective. Mark and Jim grab Ryan, “Mucky” Muckenhirn to discuss what we like to call “America’s Cartridge.”

You are extremely lucky you didn't get yourself killed using that deer gun 30-06. In 26 years, I guide hunts in Alaska it was the 30-06 used by clients that always nearly got me killed going to look for wounded animals . There is a book written by a pioneer Alaskan about bear and moose hunting in Alaska, as said in the story's the 30-06 was a real bad choice for large bears and Yukon moose with the author nearly losing his life many times because the 30-06 constantly failed to bring down bears and large Yukon moose.

@@Lure-Benson That's, strange. But also, client hunters aren't often known for being great hunters. Too much money and not enough know-how.

You know it's the hunter and not the cartridge when, most of the natives who subsistence hunt up there, either use .303 British, or .22LR and a brainshot, for everything, including moose, polar bear, and muskox.

Aside from the attributes the ‘06 possessed, it seems half the great modern cartridges call it a parent or grandparent cartridge, not a bad thing! With new powders and bullets coming into play every year, the 30-06 seems to be good for another century! You guys should give some discussion to the 30-06’s grandparent cartridge, the 7x57!

I've used the 06 since 1973. I started out using 165gr bullets because that's what Dad used in his. After a decade or so I became aware of the Barnes 110 gr and 130 gr bullets and have used these exclusively for my rifle season deer hunting. I find my accuracy is much improved with the lighter recoil. Yes I could use my 243 or 6.5 CM but I have so much confidence in the old 30-06 with these bullets out to 400yds. (Even though most shots have been within 50yd here in Michigan).

Some of the finest center-fire cartridges still in use for military, hunting and competition purposes are also some of the oldest. There's a lesson in there somewhere that what's new is not always what's best, and that things that stand the test of time do so for a reason. I am a historian, and one of the commonest biases we struggle with as humans and scholars looking at the past is what is called "presentism," i.e. the idea that what is new and modern is always superior to the past. It's simply not true, especially where these cartridges are concerned. 7.62x54R, 30-06, 7x57 Mauser, 8mm Mauser, .308, 6.5x55/Swedish Mauser, .303 British, you name it. All are still putting game down and meat in the freezer.

7mm Rem-Mag is an awesome cartridge, flat-shooting and with superb .284-cal. ballistics and SD numbers, but it only tops out around 160-170-grains for hunting loads (there are a few exceptions, but we're talking generalities), which is a consideration if you need something heavier. That said, there are plenty of guys using them for many of the same shots as they would a 30-06 or a 270. 7mm projectiles have better external ballistic performance than most .30-cal./7.62mm projectiles, but that's not normally an issue unless you hunt at ranges past 300-400 yards. Really, it fills the same niche as a 270 (6.8mm), but with more punch. That's my take, anyway. And I like all four of the cartridges you mention....

And then there is the model 670 that I picked up in a pawnshop for 200, in 30-06, that has yet to miss an animal. Not so pretty but very functional and reliable. And then the 1917 Enfield in 30-06, that originally belonged to my uncle, my dad started hunting with it and when I got old enough, dad borrowed it from his brother for me to start hunting with. Shortly after that, I inherited it when my uncle passed away. It is basically retired now, but I will keep it till I die. There have been other 06's I have owned and used, but they are gone now. Don't need nine 30-06's, but I just can't part with my favorite 5.

06' fought to surpass the 30-40 Krag and the 303 Brit, which to this day have probably killed more brown bear in Alaska than any other cartridge. When we dropped bullet weight and got higher velocity the round skyrocketed in popularity. When it was throwing heavy bullets to compete with the 8mm it just wasn't living up to it's actual abilities. Once we went to the 180, and 150gr it began to shine. To this day it still out performed the Krag, Mauser and Brit which have been used to kill everything on the planet. New bullet selections make it probably the most versatile cartridge in history.

I’ve been looking for my next cartridge ever since my .308 tikka had to be taken out of service a few months ago. Looked at all the new PRCs, all the magnums and short mags, and all the “old faithful” hunting cartridges (.308, .270, etc.). After nerding out the past few months on calibers, I’ve come to the conclusion that the 30-06 is the most balanced cartridge for lower 48 hunters. Recoil is manageable, cost of ammo is very reasonable, and it will take all game in the lower 48 out to 400 yards without issue. Works great in a climbing stand in the thick woods of the Southeast and still gets the job done in the prairies of South Dakota. Can’t ask for more than that.

On the topic of cartridge family trees, I think it would be awesome if your crew did a 30ish minute talk on the 308 Family (243, 260, 7mm-08, 308, 338 Fed, & 358). and also one on the 30-06 Family (6.5/06, 270, 280, 30/06, 338/06, 8mm/06, & 35 Whelen). Development within these two "families" is actually pretty cool. Each compliments the strengths/ weakness of the others, and there is just enough "overlap" from one to the next. Having the whole 308 Family, I don't really see anything else in the ever expanding world of cartridges I would ever need for hunting here in Michigan, or anywhere east of the Mississippi for that matter. Shoot, a 10 minute talk on just the 338 Federal would make me happy. It has become my favorite "deer woods" cartridge, and has effectively made my 30-30 and 300 savage safe queens. My 338 Fed. and the old clunky Enfield in 303 British accompany me on most hunts these days.

@ Mark Wyatt - Looking at the reloading guides, they rank the British .303 cartridge as being around the 30-40 Krag and 300 Savage in terms of power, only slightly less than .308 Winchester. According to received wisdom, you ought not to use the venerable .303 on something as large as a grizzly bear, but plenty of Canadians have done just that over the years and lived to tell about it. Heck, the famous Canadian Rangers - who are armed - for a very long time used Lee-Enfield Mk. IV No. I .303 rifles as their long arm of choice, only finally modernizing a few years ago with a Tikka in .308 Winchester. Bullet choice and shot placement matter a great deal, which is why the Canadian Rangers have managed to do fine with these cartridges, neither of which approaches being a magnum.

It’s probably overkill for hunting whitetail deer in the east but it’s a great all around cartridge that will work well on elk and moose or African plains game.

Thanks for the video. If you're interested in looking at some of the cartridge development that the 30/06 worked off of check out the following calibers. 7.65x53, 7x57, 7.92x57 (8mm Mauser). There's others but these come to mind quickly. The German and to an extent French did a lot of development on more modern projectiles. The spitzer bullet I believe comes right out of the work that Mauser was doing. The 30/06 was also used in various capacities into the Vietnam conflict.
@GeorgiaBoy1961
@GeorgiaBoy1961 2 жыл бұрын
The 7x57 Mauser, which dates back to 1892, is the reason -indirectly - for the existence of the 30-06. Colonel Teddy Roosevelt, who led the successful but costly assaults to take the San Juan Heights during the Spanish American War of 1898, faced Spanish and Cuban troops armed with Mauser bolt-actions in 7x57 and came away greatly impressed. They clearly out-performed the American rifles, predominantly Trapdoor Springfields and 30-40 Krag-Jorgensen rifles. Which is why pretty darn near the first thing he did after being elected President was to direct the design of a new, Mauser-based rifle and a cartridge to go with it. Springfield Armory, our national armory at the time, did such a good job duplicating the Mauser that they infringed on a number of patents and ended up having to pay Mauserwerk some royalties. However, the result was well-worth it, as both the rifle - the M1903 Springfield - and its cartridge - the 30-03 and then the 30-06 - were absolute home-runs. The venerable 7x57 is still around and is as good a cartridge as it was 130 years ago. And its progeny, the 30-06 continues to shine as well.
@GeorgiaBoy1961
@GeorgiaBoy1961 3 ай бұрын
The 7x57mm Mauser is the reason the 30-06 came about in the first place. When Colonel Teddy Roosevelt and his Rough Riders charged up the San Juan Heights in Cuba in 1898 during the Spanish-American War, U.S. forces faced a hail of accurate, long-range rifle fire from Spanish regulars above them. They inflicted a terrible toll, even though the U.S.won the battle. So, with this memory fresh in mind, pretty much Roosevelt's first military order as President was to tell the national armory system to develop a rifle based upon the Mauser bolt-actions he faced in Cuba. This is the rifle that became the Model 1903 Springfield bolt-action, chambered in 30-03 (initially) and then 30-06 when pointed (spitzer) bullets became common. The 7x57mm round is old, older than the 30-06 - but it has seen use by modern military forces here-and-there. The Belgian Congo ordered FN FAL automatic rifles in 7x57mm (7mm) during the 1960s, for example. It has passed away from such use today, like its cousin the 6.5x55, but hunters the world over still like and use both cartridges. Especially in Europe.

You have to search far and wide to find a cartridge that's more versatile. Many underneath are underpowered and not suitable for larger jobs. Many that are more powerful don't have the versatile lighter loads and destroy to much meat in the process. There are cartridges that are ballistically superior for specific use, very few are more versatile across the game profile in all hunting situations.

Introduced officialy in the U.S armed forces in 1906. Carried the U.S trough 2 world wars in multiple platforms and was still present in almost every other conflict America has put boots on the ground in. Many gun purists will say that the 30-06' with the M1 Garand rifle is still the finest combination of platform and cartridge ever issued as standard to the infantry and they certainly have a point, almost 120 years of the rounds existence certainly makes it one of the most battleproven rounds on the planet. It does not flower or break up like a 5.56mm or have a unique high pressure cartridge like the new 2.77 Fury ammunition from Sig Sauer, nor does it try and meet in the middle like a 6.8mm Creedmoor. Its a simple concept done well, its a big solid slug with a large amount of powder behind it that gives you a firm lovetap into the shoulder when you ask it to dance and has a combat record almost second to none in putting down whomever and whatever you manage to hit it with. Its a dinosaur of a round, old, reliable, deadly, legendary. Its 30-06''

As a "younger" guy (24) I really like the .30-06, it represents what I would call "practical nostalgia". It works very well for 90% (Or more depending upon the task at hand) of just about what ever you want it to do with it. With a good load it's a honest 400 yard deer cartridge, works as a target round out to most ranges (not my first choice, but it would work), not over or under gunned for most tasks, easy to handload. It's like a trusty old dog, it might not be the newest thing going but you know it will be there when it is needed.

YES, the .30-'06 is still as good as ever! Newer cartridges just do certain things a bit better. A bit more history: .30-ish cartridges were becoming very popular in militaries by the early 20th Century. There was the British .303, Russian 7.62x54R and the German 8mm Mauser for the US to study and emulate. Also, the .50 BMG is a scaled-up .30-'06, developed around 1920.

It all started with the 7mm Mauser however.

I have many options, including magnums of all shapes and sizes, but more often than not I reach for my .30-06.

I think we need to have a video showing everyone’s 30-06 rifles. I especially want to see Ryan’s custom 30-06. Plus, through in some spam to spice it up ha!

My first deer rifle that I ever bought with my own money was a 30-06. I wish now I would have kept it but at the time I was caught up in the various new/newer cartridge hype. Wasn’t the first cartridge I hunted with but definitely feel a connection to it since it was what I bought myself first. I need to pick up another one sometime.
