It is .30 inch caliber boat tail bullet and it was configured ( cartridge case) in the year 1906 so it is called 30 - 1906 or 30 -06. Another .30 inch is 30-30. please do not confuse these .30 s'

Veeveeaar is mostly correct. The -06 in the .30-06 comes from the year (1906) that it was adopted and standardized by the US army. It was the standard US Army cartridge till the 1960's and was even in use in the early 1970's. It was replaced by the 7.62 x 51mm NATO and the 5.56 x 45mm NATO which are both still currently in service
The proper nomenclature for the cartridge is the .30-06 Springfield cartridge
The Metric notation that the OP requested would be 7.62 x 63 mm

The fact that some of the bullets loaded in the .30-06 are boat tailed is not a distinguishing feature, and is immaterial.
