	MILITARY AMMO -- .30-06
		The.30-06 cartridge was created for the M-1903 Springfield rifle, a decade before World War I. For the next six or seven decades, the same cartridge became the most widely used rifle and light machine gun ammunition, staying in service well into the 1970s.
		Development of the.30-06 cartridge was motivated by the development of the pointed nose spritzer 7 x 57mm and 8 x 57mm Mauser cartridges by the Imperial German Army, a breakthrough in ballistic technology.
		Finally, in 1954 the.30-06 cartridge was officially replaced by the 7.62mm cartridge as the M-14 began to be phased in as the new service rifle.

	.35 Caliber Cartridges
		So it is fair to say that, over the years,.35 caliber rifles at least have caught the interest of the gun and ammo manufacturers, if not the general shooting public.
		I have long been something of a.35 caliber fan, but I have to admit that I believe the reason for the general lack of public acceptance of all but the least powerful.35's is, in a word, recoil.

		Currently, Maryland is the only other state that in some manner regulates the 50 caliber rifle, by including the "Barrett light.50 cal. semi-auto" in the category of "regulated firearms." Transfers of regulated firearms are subject to enhanced background checks, as well as minimum age and waiting period requirements.

	Caliber Selection for Hunting Wild Boar - Part 1
		Much of your choice of a caliber for hunting wild boar will be dictated by the way you are planning to hunt, and by the type of terrain and cover you will be hunting in.
		I believe the first 2 of the cartridges on the list are the minimum that can be relied on to put down a wild boar, at the ranges listed above - in the hands of a competent shooter.
		Any caliber choice would have to take in consideration these similar, but varying types of terrain, balanced against the added danger of facing a boar on the ground.

		When on the range with two or more of the aforementioned guns, or at any time these guns are being exposed at the same time, you have to be extra careful and make sure the right mag finds it way to the right gun.
		I was reloading only handgun calibers when I bought my Dillon 550B, but now I'm thankful that I don't have to buy another press to reload 5.56 NATO and 30-06 Springfield ammo.
		Thus, just dropping your loaded cartridge into your Glock's barrel is not enough in such situations - that tells you that you are within the maximum OAL for that cartridge, but you have to be sure that your cartridge is more than the minimum OAL for that powder/bullet combo.
