Last fall I was set up just off a cornfield in southern Wisconsin when a nice buck stepped out about 180 yards. I was running my .30-06 that morning, and it dropped him clean with one well-placed shot. Most of my hunts here stay under 200 yards, so that caliber fits perfectly. Sometimes I switch to 6.5 Creedmoor for flatter shots, but the old .30-06 still feels like home. What’s your go-to round?
