I am a Boomer! I know when I was born and lived through a few things and have family members that gave their life for you.
The .30-06…the king of cartridges is it fading to the sidelines?

1) I know you are, we all do.
2) You seem to delete a lot of posts when anyone posts contrary opinions, or even data. Just sayin’.
Boomers sure like to sit back and pass around the mAnbUn BS, but when anyone calls them out for THEIR stereotype, they kick and scream like toddlers.

I have an edit function just like you do, no rules against that is there ?
I also have an ignore function.

Boomer here, and I hope a gracious one. No animus toward Creedmoors or anyone who shoots them. The only reason I don't own one is that I'm already invested in other 6 and 6.5 cartridges. I'll happily recommend the 6.5 Creedmoor as a great do-it-all cartridge for a new shooter; have done so repeatedly. Most recently encouraged a friend interested in an AR10 to consider one in 6.5 Creedmoor rather than a .308 Win; I just showed him the ballistics. I abandoned the .30-06 years ago in favor of the .308, and then replaced the .308 with a 7mm-08 ... before the 6.5 Creedmoor was introduced.
But this old dog can learn new tricks. Newest cartridges in my stable include 6GT, 6mm ARC, 6.5 Grendel, and 6.5 PRC. Not one .30 cal in the safe. And I anticipate that when I shoot the barrel out of my .260 Ackley, I may rebarrel it in 6.5 Creedmoor.
