[QUOTE="MoBoost, post: 1559507, member: 3455"] I completely disagree. When the original cartridges were developed there were no compromises need - they are powerful, accurate and manageable. The caliber and dimensions of the cartridge were completely unrestricted: form follows function! 30-06 on the other hand is a compromise. In development of 30-03 the caliber AND bolt face were predetermined; and as a knee-jerk reaction to poor performance of 30-40 Krag against 7x57 they wanted too much power. Development of .308 50 years later was Government way of saying "Guys, sorry about that 30-06 thing" - but I guess they didn't learn their lesson and again compromised by keeping caliber and bolt face the same!
