[QUOTE="Buck Fever, post: 1952900, member: 113501"] It's not dead, just a bit obsolete. 7.62*51/308 is essentially the same technology, slightly better powders allowed a small shrink. 6.5 Creedmoor is just using a higher B.C. bullet and the only reason why the .30s can't do that is that scaling makes the bullets bigger and then you run out of powder capacity. It's the same tech, just better packaging for long range. Newer technology like Sig Fury and other 80,000+ cup cartridges might really make it look inefficient but it's not useless and 30-06 isn't going to die until manufacturers quit making new rifles and ammo. I don't see that happening any time soon. [/QUOTE]
