The .30-06 is the most popular cartridge all over the world, and rightly so. The many varieties of bullet weights, types and velocities available, in both factory loads and as components for the handloader, are unmatched in any other cartridge. There are saboted lightweight bullets at varmint-getting velocities, heavyweights up to 220 grains with enough horsepower to cleanly take fairly heavy game, and lots of options in between. The cartridge is versatile and flexible, and an outstanding choice for anyone who doesn’t want a closetful of rifles for different uses. The ’06 fills many needs.Stainless steel rifles are not maintenance free. The use of stainless means your rifle won’t be damaged by occasional neglect, as sometimes happens on extended hunts or near the seashore. It’ll still need cleaning after use, just like rifles made of ordinary steel. Essentially, the use of stainless steel means the firearm will never need refinishing. Unless it is seriously damaged along the way, fifty years from now your rifle will look exactly like it does today. That’s the good part.

When a friend of mine bought a used Iver Johnson M1 Carbine, he got more than he bargained for. Since the seller talked like he knew what he was doing, my friend accepted some reloads along with the gun, thinking that the ammo was just another bonus to the good deal he had made. When one of the loads exploded in his face-embedding a portion of the wooden stock in my friends forehead-it became obvious that the previous owner should have been a politician. Then my friend would have known not to trust him.
