It's not really true if you look at how calibers are actually developed, but if you look at the cartridges... the 30-06 really looks like the middle. The baseline. Everything looks like a bigger or smaller version of the 30-06. I think that says a lot about the round. I love my 270 and I think it cam do most things I will ever want to ask of it. But I know it's just a flatter shooting weaker -06
