30-06, nothing more than one of the many the offspring of the 8 X 57...and almost as good as its parent.
I've read that poppycock here a few Xs and YET have to find any documentation to verify it.
The 8X57 is shorter TO START WITH than the 30-06. The 30-03 can be considered the parent cartridge but...
Please supply a link to document your assertion.

Ok, the 30-03 was an offspring of the 8 X 57, the 30-06 was a grandchild. All Springfield did was lengthen it 6mm and neck it down .015. Same head size. Springfield copied not only the rifle but the cartridge as well. Look it up yourself.
