How about the 8mm Mauser with spitzer bullets? It came before the 30-06. It looks very close in performance and appearance.

I see where now the 160gr .284 Hornady CX is out, carrying a BC of right at .600, not far off the old 162 A-Max. They claim it needs a 1-8 twist to spin it and the 7mm PRC factory load advertises 3,000FPS. For a near/far moderately-recoiling hunting combo that should penetrate deep from nearly any angle, that combo looks fairly tough to beat.
Now with even more aplomb

I suppose when I was younger a new cartridge rolling on the scene was sorta interesting. As I get older, it seems I just chuckle a bit and think to myself … what can this chambering do that my 30/06 can’t? I’m sure you’ll hear from folks claiming some sorta niche it may be capable of but I got to ask myself is it something we all really were looking for? Simplicity is what satisfies myself these days. I guess we will see how much marketing is dumped into another cartridge. New cartridges are like new trucks. All the "cool" guys buy the new ones so they can show them off to their friends, but in the end it's still a truck. Spoken like a true female that doesnt know the differences between trucks lol Sorry I triggered you to the point of calling names and making blind assumptions. Welcome to the Fire. lol You seem more triggered than I am lol. Just making an honest assessment. Just like a female not realizing theres diesel trucks, gas trucks, 2WD, 4x4, etc. All she sees are trucks. Thats where youre similar not seeing the differences in cartridges. 🤷♂️

I think all the PRC cartridges have a lot to offer. May even build a 6.5 or .300 myself.
The only complaint I have about new cartridges coming out is when manufacturers dedicate limited resources and time in the production schedule to produce components for the tried and true. Diverting production from proven winners to make future losers is pretty annoying when everything is in short supply anyway.

There's nothing new under the sun. They're all the same in that they are all subject to the same laws of physics, endowing them with their own limitations, capabilities, strengths, and weaknesses.

I just wish the firearms industry would contine to support the new things they try to sell us. I am reluctant to buy the newest whiz bang chambering and then in a few years they quit making ammo and components for it. The oddball I have is a 35 Whelen and thankfully I bought a bunch of brass early and enough bullets to hunt with it. At least with a 270 or 30-06 you can buy ammo for it. And they both work.

Now this we can agree on. The one thing the 270 and 30-06 will have the advantage in is availability. That being said, I did buy about 500 rounds of 7mm PRC from the get go so I know Id at least have reusable brass for quite some time. Luckily 7mm components are oretty easy to find.

I guess we will see how much marketing is dumped into another cartridge. At 64 and tired of BS, you're exactly right! I kinda chuckle too, and kinda see Bearclaw Chris Lapp, riding into Jeremiah's camp, see him in his older age, staring into the fire, and see all that confusion in his head, about what cartridge to shoot next, which rifle??? Bearclaw just feels pity, says, "You've come far Pilgrim! Twere it worth the trouble!?" Eventually Bearclaw mounts up to ride off. In his Saddle Bag, several cans powder, all 4350 & 4064. And a mule just to pack his vast array of bullets, mostly Speer H.C. & Nosler Partitions, from 125gr to 225gr!! And Bearclaws last comment is, "An 06 will get it done from here well past the Mussel Shell! Good thing to know when times get hard! I bid you a Farewell!"

Just remember, there's a 30-06 in every 7mm PRC! But there isn't a 7mm PRC in any 30-06! Lol!
Just having some fun, don't get your panties in a knot...
For the record, I like them all, and just don't understand knocking any of them, old or new! Too much cool stuff out there!

Been done with grade school for about 30 years, done with my masters for about 20. Sorry your little ego couldnt handle a little ribbing haha. We can get the suture kit out for that bleeding you got going on.
