    The .50 BMG round was designed as a scaled up .30-06, using the 13.2 T.u.f. round as initial inspiration.

    The m2 is a separate thing entirely
    The M2 is the heavy machine gun based off the M1919 machine gun that fired the 30-06. But the 30-06 was ineffective. They realized it was overrated and went back to the drawing board.

    Nah

    But this is the OVER rated round thread. And anything 6.5 is definitely over rated

    Like seriously, you're getting your ass kicked in ww2, and what's first on the docket? Yeah. Get rid of the ineffective 6.5 arisaka or 6.5 carcano, and get a .30 cal so you can start getting shit done.
    6.5 Swede isn't a lightweight. .260 Remington?

    Amd because of that, the .30-06 will live on.

    They had a round so great, they said "how can we make this better?"

    And what did JMB say "hell yeah make it bigger"

    30-06 lives on because the Fudds can’t let go of the past. They carry their flip phones around and yell at people with backpacks while grumbling about winning 2 world wars dispite the fact the first one was won by the .303 and the second by the .50BMG.

    It’s really sad when you think about it.

    Oh, 30-06 is the most over rated cartridge of all time.

    Rimmed cases only win in the special Olympics.

    We want to live in the past because we didn't have federal and Hornady shoving down ever increasingly worthless rounds down our throats, we didn't have people dressing up as animals and shitting in boxes in public, and we didn't have gay pride parades every other week.

    No, we want an America that can actually land on the moon properly. An America that actually fights to win instead of fumble fucking around some dirthole for 20 years, while basic marksmanship skills go out the window :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:


    Thanks i feel better now

    Sounds like you need a 6.5 Creedmoor to cheer you up.

    I understand certain things causing problems. But when the 30-06 came about most of the people in the US were still shitting in boxes. Now we have indoor plumbing and better options for rifle cartridges.

    Nah homie don't play that.

    Did you know the average 6.5 shooter has several furry tail butt plugs? It's true.
