How so chuck? I didn't say it was ineffective just wondering how that calibers still made that list when there is plenty of superior calibers below it. IMHO

longer range, more energy. Im sure the 30-06 was fine back in 1906. ill keep my 7mm thanks . That's just me , everyone has their own favorite caliber.
That is just you! Although the lists posted on this thread were based on popularity and not so called superiority, the 30-06 did place ahead of the 7mm Rem. I should remind you that the lists were not composed of 1906 popularity buy fairly recent popularity.
The 06 crowd is a sensitive crowd. Ill know better then to poke fun next time .
No... its an honest question.
The choices were based upon reloading dies and percieved consumption not speed, power etc.
Aside from that... there are more ways to measure superiority than just down range performance and if we did use those as the sole criteria..... In a list of 5... your 7mm still would not place.

Read my first question " how did the 30-06 make # 2 ?" That implies I didn't read it .
We have three .30-06 in the stable at home. I can't think of a more tried, true and more proven caliber over the years. Versatile, easy to reload and i can buy ammo everywhere including a few gas stations we fuel up at during hunting season.
Chuck's signature which is a quote from Phil Shoemaker tells it like it is. I have had the pleasure of emailing and conversing with Phil Shoemaker about the good ol .30-06 his stamp of approval speaks volumes. Phil as well as his son Taj and daughter Tia have done it all when it comes to Alaskan hunting and guiding. I don't think you could ask for a better hunting authority in regards to real world experience.
