MOST American rifle hunters are not like most of us on this board. They buy ONE rifle, maybe two, during their hunting lifetime and shoot factory ammo in it.
Nail----->head. Exactly why the '06 remained so popular irregardless of the fact that at least half a dozen cartridges were released that were capable of better performance with a smaller bullet etc.
PS not trying to turn this into a '06 sucks thread or anything else. Just an observation.
