Certainly there are other similar chamberings, such as the .358 Win and MANY other cartridges that would provide equal or superior ballistics, but you can say that about many of the most popular cartirdges that are available..

As in... For deer or hogs, why would any one need ANYTHING but a 30-06... or .308...or .270...yada,yada,yada.. ??...

It ain't like I am a champion of the round..The most "modern" chambering that I use is a 7mm08... It's just that it would do a great job for what he wants it for...What does it matter that umpteen other cartridges would do just as well..??..
