But........ it IS .... I mean, no shame in that, it's over 100 years old. But things have advanced a bit since 1906.
Great cartridge, one of the legends. But technically speaking, obsolete is a pretty good word for it.
The Chevy 350 small block is still everything it ever was.... but it's obsolete. Doesn't mean it doesn't work, just that the state of the art has left it behind.
God I love trolling!
What has advanced beyond the '06? It still takes a good hit in the vitals to kill an elk and as far as I know, elk haven't evolved much in the last 100 years. An '06 will nicely handle Partitions or TTX bullets. It's still one of really accurate rounds out there. The fact that it's still around and still one of the best is a tribute to the engineers 100 years ago. They were geniuses. Age and obsolete aren't synonymous.
