You were doing so well until the above statement. .30-06 is much harder to come by and at least 4 times the price of either 7.92 or 7.62x54(r). You can pick up 7.92 (aka 8mm mauser) for $.06 a round in small lots all day long, and if you're willing to go for a palletload, it can be had for $.03 a round. 7.62x54(r) isn't much more. And enbloc clips suck. I've NEVER seen anybody get "M-1 thumb" from a mauser, Nagant, or Enfield.
