The 30-06 round (often spoken as "Thirty-ought-six") is a .30 caliber round. That is, the projectile is 30-hundredths of an inch. This is roughly equal to 7.62mm.

The "-06" part comes from being designed in 1906.

How is caliber defined?

Caliber typically refers to the maximum diameter of a gun's barrel in hundredths of an inch. Sometimes a stated caliber (like .38 Special) is not equal to its actual caliber (.357 caliber). This is due to several reasons: 1- Marketing, 2- Measuring barrel diameter land to land, 3- Measuring barrel diameter groove to groove. 4- Measuring diameter of the chamber (brass casing diameter). Usually when a firearm uses millimeter instead of caliber, it tends to be a more accurate description of the projectile's diameter.
