375 H&H, also smallest legal caliber for elephants !
Do you get to ask a question if you're wrong??

My question is; What's the difference in a 30-30 and a 30-06 round ??

Apparently you do get to ask a question even if you are wrong. More elephants have been taken with a 303 British. Not because they are so powerful but rather because in Africa the Enfields are abundant.


Both are 30 cal but the 30-30 also has 30 grains of powder while the 30-06 came out in 1906?

[DWD445]

Good info. I read that the 375 was the most common used.

What was the first Henry Rifle chambered for?
