Is the .30-06 Still King? (Our Viewer Poll Results) Eps. 494

Welcome to Ron Spomer Outdoors! In today’s episode of the Ron Spomer Outdoors Podcast, we dive into the results of our recent patron poll to see what cartridges real hunters are actually taking into the woods. From the undying legacy of the .30-06 and .270 Win, to the nostalgia of the .30-30, we break down the data, the ballistics, and the biases.But that’s not all! We also tackle a great listener question about choosing the perfect, lightweight elk rifle setup, debate the performance of round-nose versus spire-point bullets, and take a deep dive into rimfire territory to look at the Winchester .21 Sharp and the fate of the .17 Mach 2.
