.30-06 Springfield Ammo Prices

The 1906 U.S. service cartridge that fought both world wars and Korea, then spent the next century as America's default deer rifle answer. Probably massively overpowered for its military role, the '06 was and is a contender for a "does everything" caliber. Great for hunting medium to large game, target shooting and long distance precision sports. If a hunting camp has one rifle in it, the odds say it's an aught-six unless everyone is under 40 years old.

The load catalog is one of the deepest in existence: 125 to 220 grain, every bullet type ever sold.

Hunting season moves the inventory, so off-season case buys are the play. A century of rifles means it will never go away. .30-06 is one of the top most historically important cartridges of all time along with the 9mm, 22 LR and .45 ACP.
