I feel that in 1952 the US Army improved both the .300 Savage and the .30-06.
Of course they could have skipped the 30-40 Krag, 30-03, 30-06, and 308 if they had just opted for the 7.65x53 in 1892.
Indeed, there is that. What the heck were those old guys thinking?!
Probably that home grown is better than foreign, but they were wrong. Of course, if they have gone with the 7.65x53 the military industrial complex would have missed multiple profit opportunities and all that tax money could have been spent on other useful things like education, health care, and infrastructure construction and maintenance.
