"Greater" is a word that should be defined.
If by "greater" you mean a round that covers the most bases and fulfills the largest number of needs for hunting in the whole world, I agree 100%.
But greater (greatest) can also mean flattest shooting to some shooters.
It can mean most powerful to some shooters.
It can mean most accurate to some shooters.
It can mean most efficient in terms of powder burned to power produced to some shooters.
It can mean best for use in an auto-loader or lever action to some shooters.
It can mean least expensive to some shooters, and many other definitions of the word.
the 30-06 is none of these things ----------------------------other then being the best for the most usage, over the most areas, and the most types of game to be killed. But that's all.
