The guy was shot, twice!!!, with a 30-odd-6 and lived to the next day??? That thing will bring down a full grown buck!

At the time of the adoption of the .30-06, one of the key considerations in an issue infantry rifle was its ability to drop a cavalry mount.

That would be “thirty-aught-six” - where did you come up with ‘odd?’

Rarely a buck is given the best life-saving treatment that a team of paramedics and the ER crew can offer.

the gun will bring down a grizzley bear.....must have been a very careful shooter aiming for the big toe or wherever...

Actually it is not 30 odd 6, it is 30 ought 6. Ought being the way, back in the day, of saying zero. There fore the .30-06, meant a 30 caliber made in 1906, or 19Ought6.Taught to me back in the day by my mother who used the term ought right up until the day she died. You are correct is finding it odd that the guy lived for a while after being shot twice with one.

Yeah. Must have had FMJ or just missed the vitals.
