What does 30.06 mean in a bullet?

Let's use the correct term- CARTRIDGE. Bullet is the PART of a cartridge that comes out of the end of the barrel. The 30-06 (usually pronounced as thirty ought six) is a .30 caliber rifle cartridge- meaning that the bullet is 30/100ths of an inch in diameter. It was developed in 1906. It was called that to help distinguish it from an earlier .30 caliber cartridge- the 30-40 Krag (which had a .30 caliber bullet, driven by 40 grains of black powder, and was created by the Krag/ Jorgensen Company) Naming practices tend to change over time, and are not always uniform. Good question, tho.

None... it is the same sized bullet (.308 diameter). You have to choose the selection of bullet when reloading 30-30 ammo for the type of bullet.
