Start somewhere above the .243 and end somewhere below the .338 magnums. The various cartridges that fall in there are, for the most part, so close to each other to be indistinguishable except for some niche use.
To the OP's question of "Why not the 30-06" all one can do is shrug. But you can sub in any number of cartridges there and get the same response.

While I would agree to a point but I think you stretched out a bit too far. A 30-06 is significantly more powerful and effective against larger game than a 243. Let alone some of the magnums that slot in between the 30-06 and 338 mags.
