It is 7.62 × 63mm in metric notation and has its parent case as the 30-06 Springfield. The 30-06 Springfield Ammo's name originates from the number of bullet caliber it possesses in inches which are 30. The "06" is a reference to the year 1906, when the cartridge was adopted. It has its place of origin in the United States. The 30-06 Springfield Ammo was quite popular in World War I, World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam war. It was designed in 1906 by the Springfield Armory, even though several others have manufactured it since then. With bullet diameter of .308 inches and a land diameter of .300 inches, the neck of the 30-06 Springfield Ammo is .340 inches. It has a shoulder diameter of .441 inches and a rim diameter of .473 inches. The 30-06 Springfield Ammo rim's thickness is .049 inches, and it has an overall length of 3.34 inches (85mm).

.300 RCM

The 300 Ruger Compact Magnum, often known as the 300 RCM, is a rimless, short-length rifle cartridge designed to closely resemble the performance of the classic 300 Winchester Magnum cartridge, but chambered in a short-action rifle. Hornady and Sturm Ruger collaborated to produce the rifle cartridge for hunting medium-to-large North American game, which was introduced commercially in 2008 and chambered in a variety of Ruger rifles. It employs a rimless design case based on the powerful 375 Ruger cartridge, which has the same base and rim diameter of 532 in (13.5 mm) as belted magnum cases based on the 300 H&H Magnum and.375 H&H Magnum. Given cases of identical length, this design allows the 300 Ruger Compact Magnum cartridge to have a larger case capacity than a belted magnum case. The case length was lowered to 2.10 in (53 mm), which is close to the 308 Winchester case since Ruger wanted the cartridge to be chambered in short length bolt-action rifles. Hornady produces high-performance ammunition for the 300 Ruger Compact Magnum cartridge. The Hornady Superformance Ammunition travels at 3,040 ft/s (930 m/s) with a Hornady 180 gr (12 g) Interbond or SST bullet and 3,310 ft/s (1,010 m/s) with the 150 gr (9.7 g) SST bullet. The higher case capacity and "short fat" cartridge efficiency of the 300 Ruger Compact Magnum result in gains in the neighborhood of 150 fps above the H&H cartridge, and it performs similarly to the 300 Winchester Magnum or 300 WSM.
