Well said George. I was a young reader of Hagel and still believe what he wrote was great for the times, because as you mentioned, bullets weren’t as great.
Today, I still use boomers and 6.5/270/280 all together but it’s more about want than need.
It’s kinda funny though but out to 400-500 pretty much all of the “normal” cartridges look more like a 270/30-06 than different. Plus or Minus a few FPS
