The "scary" part is that something like an off-the-shelf .30-06 isn't

Never liked those, I think that they are a marketing gimmick to sell
expensive ammunition.

They have their purposes. Shrug. But most hunting situations are well
handled by cartridge of the 3006's nature. THough Im rather found of
the 375 H&H, which has similar ballistics as the 06, but with a rather
larger bullet.

Making sure other people play nice and dont kill each other (and us)
off in job lots is hardly empire building, particularly when you give
them self determination under "play nice" rules.
