All FAIR, albeit a bit disturbing comments.

I would hate for the .223, .243, .270, .308, .30-06 go away because "they are boring"; HELL the '06 can be used for almost anything in world when loaded with today's bullets!

The 7 and 6.5 cartridges do carry better energy further. One reason my go to now is generally the 7mm-08. I am making my '06 into a fine rifle though! Attached is my truck gun, I gave it a slight upgrade... ;-)
