I am a little surprised that those cartridges are popular in Russian. I assumed that Russian or European cartridges would be most popular.

In the segment of militaristic weapons (like Kalashnikov, AK), Russian standard of cartridges is certainly more popular, but I do not need Kalashnikov (and everything that is based on it). If we talk specifically about hunting cartridges, then yes - 308win and 30.06spr are the most popular.
There is, of course, popular 9.3x62 (Mauser) caliber, but for most hunting it is overkill, although it is believed to be the ideal stopping caliber for moose.
