What round has taken the most lives?
Mods, If this topic is deemed unexceptable, please lock with no ill feelings.
I ask because a co-worker made a statement today that the 30/06 was it, I didnt argue the point with him, but it did get me thinking. With it being in US service from 1903 till 1954 (?) it has seen it's fair share of conflict in many weapon configurations. What about 7.62x51 NATO or even 7.62x54R? Both have been around the world and still produced. Alas dont forget 7.62x39, with as many nations and variations, plus shear numbers it's gotta be in the running. Just wondering thought I'd throw it out there, get a hit or two back.
