According to its history, the .30-06 cartridge was created for the M-1903 Springfield rifle, a decade before World War I. For the next six or seven decades, the same cartridge became the most widely used rifle and light machine gun ammunition, staying in service well into the 1970s.
.30-06 was used not only for the M-1903 Springfield, but also for the .30 cal machine guns, the BAR, and for the .30 cal M-1917 Enfield. It succeeded not because it was exceptional but because it was versatile.
