    Yes.

    The 30.06 rifle has literally killed tens of thousands of people at every range imaginable. It is easily among the most well studied weapons on earth. This is easily among the most common weapons in the United States and this cartridge was the standard issue rifle cartridge for both world wars.

      Who’s the guy with experience/expertise on this subject saying it should have done more damage?

        Bring an expert that says the contrary instead of throwing vague shade. It’s the consensus in most fire arm circles from what I understand.

        Lots of other things don’t add up as well (like paving over the crime scene a week later).

          I neck shot my deer last year with a 30.06. No huge exit wound. Obliterated the spine. We usually hang them from the head but had to hang this one by the hind legs.

          If everyone is saying it you should have a source to backup the theory. It’s not everyone elses’ responsibility to disprove it.
