Default RE: 30-06 vs. 270 WSM

Oh boy another one with the new 30-06. Tell me something there Dalebow. The 30TC just barely making 06 velocities with a 150 gr bullet how is it the new 06? Will it come anywhere near 06 velocities with 165 or 180 gr bullets? I think not, will it handle 200 or 220 gr bullets? definitely not. Not to mention the fact that currently the only company manufacturing ammo is Hornady and that is only a 150 and 165 gr load with specially blended powders that will not be released for sell as a component so there will not be any chance for handloaders to equal factory velocities. Now let's take it a step further, exactly how many companies are making rifles chambered in 30 tc. ONE, Thomspon Center. Maybe after it has been around say over a century it can earn the title of being the new 30-06.
