In this episode, we sit down with the legendary Ron Spomer to hash out what cartridge family is the best of the very best. Predictably, our discussion is full of humorous opinions, hunting stories, and technical information as we break down the history and influence of what is surely the most influential, practical, and capable cartridge family of all time.
To wrap up, we whittle the .30-06 family down to just one cartridge: The best of the breed. ENJOY!
