Subject: RE: My 30-06 on the Wall
I'll stick my oar in. If the origin of the song was prior to 1906 I would guess that 30 US refers to the .30-40 Krag (really Krag-Jorgensen). The Krag originated ca 1892. I think either cartridge could be called 30 US though.

If anyone is REALLY interested I will dig into the matter.
