I think the 30-06 and 8mm rifle cartridges were pretty good.

Nothing wrong with their effectiveness. Their bulk and relative inefficiency are really all that anyone could hold against them.

No argument there from me. The 6mm is great for long range and should be good against armor with the right bullet construction due to bullets available with good sectional density.

Fundamentally, those rounds were developed to knock down a cavalry horse at 600-800 yards when firing at massed formations. We can do better for modern needs.
