It's cousins (270, 280, 308 etc) are never branded boring so why the 30/06?
I don't know why for sure, but I have 3. I have a count of 1 for each of the other calibers I have. I haven't used a 30-06 for a few years trying to learn more about the other calibers, but the quickest elk kill I had was with the 30-06.
Nowadays it is a tweener round. So many people trying to shoot as small of cartridge as possible to take animals to those with large cases shooting long distance.
One thing about it a person can never go wrong with a 30-06.
