What can you hunt with a 30 aught 06 rifle?

Anything on the face of the earth. It is a great caliber, handling bullet weights ranging from 55gr. to 250grs. The smaller weighted bullets are great for varmint hunting for …coyotes and ground hogs. You can go up to a 180 gr. bullet for big game but not dangerous big game. For those such as moose and bear , animals over 500 pounds you should use 180 gr. to 250 gr. bullet and because of the bullet weight you will not be able to shoot as far. For this reason you may want to consider a .338 win mag or 416 rem mag if you hunt a lot of extra large game. (MORE)
