Plus, doesnt anyone realize all the "WONDERFUL" deer round you all are talking about are 30.06 offspring. ie; 270, 25.06, ect. And if the 30.06 wasnt devolped, there wouldnt be any of these?!
And you realize all modern aircraft owe credit to the Wright Flyer. The 30-06 is not a bad cartridge, and granted is highly versatile, but it is by no means the best cartidge for any one application. It will forever remain a jack of all trades yet master of none.
