ryoushi,
The ONLY real advantage (IMO) of the .30-06 Springfield over the old-school 9.3x62mm is that the "Ought Six" factory ammo is available in almost every city/town (and even at some very small stores at rural crossroads) all over the Western Hemisphere.
Btw, as NO nation ever used the 9.3x62mm as a "service rifle cartridge", the 9.3x62 is LAWFUL in virtually every Worldwide locale that allows hunting with rifles.

Tex,
Respectfully, I disagree that the ONLY advantage of the '06 is ammo availability. Less recoil and flatter trajectory factor in as well. And the non-military chambering issue, isn't, for the majority of hunters. I own both and the '06 goes hunting more often than not.
Cheers!
