I'm guessing others can say that the __________ did it before the 06 too.

I disagree. There are 3 distinct eras of firearms.
Black Powder from smooth to rifled. Slow, they did the job, but you needed to be close for penetration (larger game) people. Better than bows and arrows. maybe.
Black Powder in modern cartridges from with rifling. Still a limited range sans the rainbow trajectory subject to everything. 30-40 Kraig and the like.
Modem: Smokeless powders, Spitzer bullets and those all started the more advanced with the 6.5s, 7mm and 30-06 (and some odds and sods from the French etc)
