Barnes really powered the 338-06. Good news, feel safe matching. 338-06 is very underated and baffling why not popular. | |||

Regardless of what folks say,it seems to me that one of the things signifying a good product or service is a continued use/purchase/longevity of said item/service. The .30/06 has been around for 103 years!I would say that is a good indication!Besides,the freedom of so many was won with that round carried by HEROES and won with their blood and sacrifice. So useful,I only want more than just the one I do have!It is my favorite,no more left to say. | |||

A 30/06 is a good choice for bore with 150gr bullets. | |||

I'd rather use a 270 or 280 with 150's any day of the week. To me, the 30-06 is all about 165's and heavier. | |||

The .338-06 is probably the most popular calibre in northern BC between Dawson Creek and Prince George. | |||

Still no substitute for a .30/06 in my world! | |||

So much so that it accounts for more than half of all the ice cream sold. Nearly the same thing can be said about the 30-06. I just question the need to use a 180g TTSX bullet. even if you needed a 180gr bullet to kill a boar with a 30-06 (And I don't believe you do) a TTSX tends to penetrate more like a heavier bullet so I'd drop down to a 165gr TTSX Those can be pushed to 2950fps or so AD If I provoke you into thinking then I've done my good deed for the day! Those who manage to provoke themselves into other activities have only themselves to blame. *We Band of 45-70er's* 35 year Life Member of the NRA NRA Life Member since 1984 | |||

The wisdom and intelligence in choosing the 06 can not be questioned. Don't let the arm chair ballistic "experts" make you second guess your decision. Don't get dazzled by all the primo bullet marketing hype. There are a lot of great bullets available at much more affordable price that perform great and you will have more choices than you could ever load for. Like sprinkles on vanilla ice cream. | |||

There maybe better choices but A .30-06 is NEVER A BAD CHOICE. | |||

Last election day, after I exercised my right to vote, yet felt a bit nervous. So, I visited a local pawn shop where I found a Savage model 340 in 30-30, with a Weaver K-41. It followed me home. With scope, it weighs maybe 6 lbs and it's fun to shoot. I've been loading spitzers for it, getting good accuracy with the Hornady 130's. I don't know about your terrain, but, that 6lb 30-30 is a lot more fun, for me, hiking around in the Idaho hills and mountains. I don't know how big your pigs are, or at what range, but, to me, it's light and handy and I can't imagine that it wouldn't kill a pig. | |||

30-06 also gives one the option to use the classic Lee Loader. It is a neck sizing reloader and can build extremely accurate ammo. No bulky press, no extra gear around. Just a tiny plastic box, a bottle of powder and some bullets. http://www.leeprecision.com/ht...alog/cleeloader.html http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...wwYQ&feature=related | |||

is that everything needed to load the round ar? nothing else required besides a primer and the powder and the bullet and that unit pictured? | |||

You'll also need case lube, a hammer or piece of wood to use as a hammer, and a firm surface to rest the dies on while resizing the case and seating the primer and bullet. Jerry Liles | |||

Using the Classic Lee Loader, no seperate dies are used. The Loader neck sizes, it does not full length size so no lube either. | |||

Okay, here is what you need: Classic Lee Loader: Approx. $30.00 A) Brass: use factory brass you fired in your rifle. Or if its a new rifle, buy the cheapest box of factory ammo and use that ammo to break in the barrel and sight in the scope. Then you have once fired brass that you can use to reload with. Approx. $20.00 B) Primers: Cheap. 1 box of primers loads 100 rounds. Approx. $4.00 C) Hammer: Used with the Lee Classic Loader. Watch the Youtube video and he shows how to use the loader. D) Bullets: In 30-06 I would use the 180 gr. Barnes TTSX for moose/elk. 150 gr. for deer. Or if on a budget, 168 gr. TTSX for everything and know where it shoots. Approx. $45.00 E) Powder: 1 pound will load approx. 120 30-06 rounds. Approx. $25.00 E) Primer pocket cleaner: Cleans out the primer pocket. Approx. $2.00 F) Lee cutter lock stud, case length gauge: used to trim cases. Approx. $20.00 OPTIONAL: scale to measure powder. The Classic Loader includes a scoop to measure powder but a scale is more accurate. Lee scale is approx. $25.00 Total: $145.00 $170 if you also buy the Lee powder scale. | |||

Thats a fact I love the 30-06AI and originally like the heavies only but have found 150gr Interbond to be fantastic. 160/168 Interbond and Accubonds are damn good as well. Viva la 30-06! | |||

Hooah. The 338-06AI can do it all, and it will not punish you. I dearly love mine, but it is for sale. If you go with this cartridge, you will not be sorry. Oh, you'll know something went off when you fire it, but recoil is not at all like a 338WM. If you are not opposed to reloading, this is the one to get.
