Default OT rifle caliber (was Why GA is Dying)

.30/06 is the rifle caliber.
Nope.
.30-'06

Yep, caliber and year, not a fraction.


Ok, what do the numbers mean? I've heard of a "thirty ought six"
referring to a gun, and think I know one of them (.30 inches?) refers to
the gauge (width of the bullet). What's the other?
