Went for a walk today and I had choices reaching into my gun cabinet, guess which rifle my hand came out with.....on average, if normal barrel lengths apply 3006 is .308 with an extra 100fps or so and more recoil. That's my 2cents. Now off to run a boresnake through my 6mm08 work horse!

All this is true. But finding the right bullet helps alot woth quick kills too. I like ssts they work great in 243 but I'm not a fan of the 150s in 308 . I had a blr in 243 for years I shot hundreds of animals with it its a favorite caliber of mine. I liked the 95 ssts and 90 grain targex 80 grain corelocts.
