Greatest cartridge ever invented? no magnums

If you are looking for the greatest, you have to look beyond North America. Yes it could be a north americian cartridge but it has to have been ther, done thatin most placesand it has to be more then a one usage cartridge.

IMHO, the 375 H&H is the greatest hunting cartridge because it can go anywhere and do any animal on the face of the earth, but it has never been to war.

Now the 8X57 has, and it is the farther of a whole range of cartridges, inculding the 30.06 family!

That makes it the greatest! And I have never shot one!
 
Greatest Ever?

For ease of reloading and reloading choices, for most hunting applications, and for a storied past, the 30-06 (I own several, so I'm biased). But for the possibilities it opened for extreme accuracy, I have to go with the 7 x 57. G_d it hurts to admit that...
 
This being North America the 30-06, 30-30, 308 Win and .22LR are the major classics; this is undeniable. My Grandpa (or most of yours) never had a 7 X whatever in his gun rack!

The 30-06 Springfield is the premier cartridge on this continent........period.
