[QUOTE="Lee Goodwin, post: 2347457, member: 107289"] Here is an old Winchester 70 not too far out from the invention of the 30.06 cartridge. The WW1 rifles started out as 30 Government caliber. The thought was 200 or so grain bullets tossed at slower fps. The Germans and the Spanish Mauser changed all that. Pederson saw a future in the .277 , Garand was leaning toward the semi auto in a caliber he called 30 Garand. The response to the 7mm Mauser or other faster projectile cartridges in battle rifles was... 30 Government changed to 30.06, 150 grain bullet going 2600? Man killer. Bolt rifles. Garand was able make a semi auto rifle by WW2...to handle the long action 30.06 , and a legendary cartridge was born. 1906, 30 cal, 30.06. [/QUOTE]
