Hi Patagon,
As far as I know the muzzle Velocity of the 06 with a 150 grain bullet was around the 2700 fps and shortly afterwards 2800 fps. So not slower than the 8x57 by any worthwhile amount.
I do not know why the US did not develop a more efficient cartridge, however the 06 did give birth to some very worth while cartridges like the 270Win, 280Rem (and the other 7mms) and 35Whelen.
Very much the point. It was/is a fantastic commercial/hunting cartridge. Probably the best case to build on ever...for hunting/commercial rounds.
But as a mil round, based on the fact that the 57mm case existed with proper taper at the time, it kind of needed not to have existed.
