The goold old -06 and its derivatives (25-06, 270 Win, 280 Rem, 338-05, 35 Whelen) are the highest intensity "standard cartridge" out there..at least it seems to me that way....just breathing on the neck of similar calibers with a Magnum label attached to it.... the 270 Win or 280 Rem are close in performance to the 7mm Rem Mag, as the 30-06 of nowdays is close to a 300 Win Mag and the 338-06 is close to a 338 Win Mag....
Could we call them "Quasi Magnum", "Almost Magnum" or "Half Magnum" cartridges?
