Not really. The M2 was based off the M1919. But otherwise the cartridges are unrelated.
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.The .50 BMG round was designed as a scaled up .30-06, using the 13.2 T.u.f. round as initial inspiration.

6.5 Swede isn't a lightweight. .260 Remington?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.

Nobody who fought a war with 6.5 stuck with it. No one.6.5 Swede isn't a lightweight. .260 Remington?
Well, if you're fighting moose or something, it might be handy.Nobody who fought a war with 6.5 stuck with it. No one.
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"
Well, if you're fighting moose or something, it might be handy.
Rimmed cases only win in the special Olympics.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.
I don't want to say much about that, but if she was baiting it....A møøse once bit my sister
Low hanging fruit. I'll let someone else put that in the OOC threadI don't want to say much about that, but if she was baiting it....
7.62x54 R won a war.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
Thanks i feel better now
Not against Ukraine7.62x54 R won a war.
Killed more russians than germans probably7.62x54 R won a war.
Sounds like you need a 6.5 Creedmoor to cheer you up.Rimmed cases only win in the special Olympics.

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.
Define “several”. I’ve heard some claim that several is 2, but I’ve always considered it to mean 3.Nah homie don't play that.
Did you know the average 6.5 shooter has several furry tail butt plugs? It's true.
Damn! I can't find them. Did you take them home with you?Nah homie don't play that.
