Coyote Hunter, you may be right about the cases. I would want to see sectioned cases and a hardness test (or manufacturer statement) before I would trust it though.
Incidentally, I have nothing against improving the .30-06 either in terms of MAP or in terms of case geometry/capacity. I think it's overdue actually. An extra 2-3KPSI and a 70gr H20 or bigger case with a 40deg shoulder would probably buy the better part of 100 ft/s more or less "for free".
