Where do you stop with your /06

It seems some countries do have restrictions regarding cartridges that are or were military but never thought the 30-06 was one. 303 British, 7.62x54R 6mm Lee Enfield 7x57 mm 8mm Mauser etc are some that have long been sporting rounds. Was it the .475 caliber that received such scrunty so the .476 was created to replace it?
Nonsense always seems to prevail over common sense.
 
This article URL below says the 450 was banned by England in 1905 for India and Sudan. The new 303 cartridge for the Sudan as well.
I am not vouching for the article but it seems to match.
It says Holland and Holland replaced the 450 with the 500/465.

What a great way to kick off our 2025 hunting season in South Africa.

This beautiful Impala ram was taken at just over 300 yards, took a few steps and toppled over.

We are looking forward to the next week and a half of hunting with our first client of the year.

Do you have any more copies of African Dangerous Game Cartridges, Author: Pierre van der Walt ? I'm looking for one. Thanks for any information, John [redacted]
