Has anyone heard of a .22-06. This is something from my childhood, somewhere around 1960. One of the fellows in my fathers hunting group had one. All I really remember is dad had absolutly no use for it, I guess that is why I can remember it today. He called it a worthless round. Dad had three guns. A 12ga. shotgun, a .22 long rifle, and a 30/30 win. Everything he hunted was with these. I was just wondering if it was just Dad being Dad, or is there something really wrong with this round. I haven't heard anything about it since.
