I believe JOC's comments were based on at least one battle in Cuba (1898) where the Spanish snipers beat up Teddy Roosevelt and his Rough Riders with their 7x57's. After that, the call went out for a new military cartridge which ultimately became the 30-06.
This is correct and when you put the two cartridges side by side, the .30/06 is very like a scaled up version.

When truth is ignored, it does not change an untruth from remaining a lie.
