Interesting thread...
Some of the calcs made my head hurt, so I didn't take the time to try to follow all the science.

But seems that one point missed (at least I didn't see it) is a simple one. Larger case capacity, means the .06 can push heavier, high BC bullets than the .308- or the same, faster...just like the .300 WM

So the "plus" for added case capacity, doesn't offset the "downside" of the shoulder/case design as far as ability to put the round on target at long range?
