[QUOTE="Bullet bumper, post: 670594, member: 17844"] When the British were trying to Colonise Africa they were shooting Martini Henrys not SMLE 303's . The people that did most of the hunting were Dutch and German settlers , Boers . They used Mausers . However during the second world war German ammo become unavailable so many Mausers were converted to 30-06 as US ammo was available . That is just one story in one place but the 30-06 has been popular in many countries . Chuck Hawkes said , " 30-06 Springfield - In sales, this is the most popular hunting cartridge in North America, and it is one of the elite worldwide cartridges. Many experts regard it as the best all-around hunting cartridge in the world. The .30-06 is in use on every continent where big game is hunted " . Is he wrong also? The 308 W may have bigger sales now but that is just because it is the current Military cartridge . However the 30-06 has been around longer and taken more game than the 308W around the world.
