Invented prior to World War I, the .30-06 Springfield cartridge was developed as an improvement of the backwards and short-lived .30-03. Designed alongside a modification of the '''M1903 Springfield''' rifle, the '''M1906''', the .30-06 was designed with increased maximum effective range in mind, after a study revealed that the WWI American weapons were far outclassed by European designs and calibers.
