Haha.
Sure, if you like burning 10% more powder to achieve less than 5% increase in velocity (which is already plenty from the 30.06 for kills to 500yds, conservatively) while enduring marginally higher recoil with the 7mm. Diminishing returns.
Magazine capacity and component availability also go to the 30.06 over the 7mm. Not to mention that the 30.06 tends to be matched with 22 rather than 24 inch tubes, which tend to carry more easily.
Honestly, the 7mm rem is a fine cartridge. I’m looking to build a custom 7mm rem mag, but it will in no way replace my 30.06.
