    Nothing against people who do use them though, whatever floats your boat. If I was buying a new deer rifle these days I'd probably go for something 6.5 or 7mm anyway.
    Not too sure about your figures GB, pretty sure i can handload my 06 to damn near 3k or at leat 2950 with a 150gr, whereas i could just touch 2720 ish with my 308. not knocking the 308,the threads about the 06.
    factory 2920 xp win with the 06, but who knows about my chrony
