[QUOTE="Caustic Burno, post: 1613731, member: 694"] Your 100% correct the 06 can’t be beat! When it gets down to it a 30-30 is all you need under 200 yards. The 250-3000 was the flat shooter of the day for the vermin guys. Good deer cartridge as well. All three rounds are over a century old and just not in vogue. The 250 Savage didn’t survive.Gun manufacturers are in the business of selling guns and ammo and have to give the car salesmen pitch on the new calibers. Really the only game changer I have seen in the last 50 years is the 243. The bullet selection giving speeds of 2800-4000 FPS just smoked the 250 . The 243 was just an improvement on the old 250-3000 Savage. It stood for 25 cal 3000 FPS. I haven’t seen anyone with that caliber in decades. [/QUOTE]
