[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 802152, member: 1521"] The reason everyone changed it is because it represents a very poor design. And 'someone competes with it',, is more like someone 'shows up' with anything, eventually. If you review equipment lists out there, you won't see many cartridges from 1906. And you won't see any consistently doing well. Modern cartridges reload better, and are more ballistically efficient. The reloading part is vital to maintain a working tune. Efficiency means lower recoil, and pressures high enough to burn the powder(inside the bore), lower muzzle pressures, and producing more consistent pressure curves. Overall better, longer accuracy. Sure grandpa killed deer with them for a long time. While around here people have been killing as many deer -with buckshot. But this is a LRH site. We don't talk much about 30-06s, 45-70s, or buckshot. [/QUOTE]
