Re: [SG-WW2] BAR

Yes it did fire the .30-06 round.  I have to agree, it's an excellent
caliber for general purpose hunting.  A little heavy for small game
though.
Great for breaking concrete block with full-metal jacket rounds too. 
:-)
Last time I was out shooting I ran about 2 and a half boxes through my
Dad's '06 and had horrendous bruise on my shoulder.  :-)

IIRC, didn't it fire the .30-06 round?	I love that round - it was
designed
for military use, but makes a damned good derr hunting round.
