270 Win... unheralded at its birth, and it took some years for it to get discovered. Its popularity far exceeds most modern cartridges. The 7-08 isn’t even close to “least-hyped and popular” compared to the 270.

No military cartridge belongs in this discussion...

270 is over hyped and has been since the 30s! Doesn’t make it bad...but the 7-08 is a thinking mans cartridge. It remains on its merits alone. JOC didn’t have to pimp it for 40 years for it to find acceptance.

.223? became quite the whitetail killer after the internets was invented and actual testimony drowned out the old wives tales and superstition.

Don't pay any attention to Blackfart. When his hemorrhoids get to bothering him, he gets on here and takes it out on other posters.

Now, if you had asked the question as to the least hyped medicine for your itchy ass, he would have fit right in.

Most of the military cartridges probably fit the bill, as they were designed to be used to kill people, not animals. The 30-06 is probably the biggest name, but the 45-70, 7X57, 6.5X55, 308, 303 British, and the 223 are all known as great hunting cartridges.

6.5 variants.
6.5 Swede has been around for ever. But now we have 6.5 CM, 6.5PRC, 26 Nosler ,6.5-300...
When did 7-08 become main stream like the 6.5 CM?


All of them do something better than the 30-06, but none of them do everything as well.

30-06. Was it hyped a hundred plus years ago or did become popular because it is so good?

I'll cast my vote for the 300 Savage. While it may have had a bit of a fuss made about it in the early '20s, it seems to receive mention only in articles about the 99 Savage now.

Oops.
Brad is correct. The 270 Winchester.

I'd add the 338. That one took a LONG time to catch on.

How was the 30/06 "hyped"? Was using it in three wars a means of promotion? GD

Ok. Put your balls back in their box after you are done.
