America’s Rifle Round for Half a Century
The “30-06” name says it all: .30 calibre, adopted in 1906. It armed the M1903 Springfield in the First World War, then the M1 Garand, the Browning Automatic Rifle and the Browning M1919 machine gun in the Second World War and Korea. The 7.62×51 NATO replaced it as the front-line round in the 1950s.
It never went out of fashion with hunters, and it is still one of the most widely loaded big-game rounds in the world.
From the Range to Your Keys
Ours start as fired .30-06 brass. After cleaning and a polish, each case goes through a full-length resize so the neck grips a new bullet properly, and a 25mm split ring goes on last. At roughly 85 mm it hangs well from a rifle bag as well as a bunch of keys.
