not exactly. your description of the .30-'06 is correct. but the
mini-30 uses the 7.62x39mm russian cartridge. ruger made the bore
diameter too small. as a result, it is inaccurate and in some cases
dangerous.

There is sobbing of the strong,
And a pall upon the land;
But the People in their weeping
Bare the iron hand;
Beware the
People weeping
When they bare the iron hand.
