[QUOTE="Bullet bumper, post: 802155, member: 17844"] The 30-06 is a great cartridge full stop . The fact is that modern times mean that people want the new stuff as hunting and shooting changes . Sellers only want to push the latest stuff because if it's new it must be better and sometimes it is . If you are pushing the envelop to max ranges then you are going to need the big powder gulping magnums to get there and have any killing power left . The 30-06 is fantastic at what it is designed to do but it can't out perform something like a 338 LM or RUM . 50 years ago if you said I am going to shoot Elk at 1200 yards they would have you committed . Now it happens and is accepted . Plenty of people world wide still use the 30-06 regularly but it's way cooler to talk about what your did with your 338 LM or Edge than the old 06 . [/QUOTE]
