Thread: 308 vs 30/06

Sounds like you know enough really and if you wade through this stuff and other you’ll be happy enough with either.

The beauty thing in today’s world is we can play with whatever projectiles we want and make them work.
A 308 using 130’s is as effective as a 30-06 using a slick 180 or a stubby partition. Ask any deer shot with one.
The decision is what one will you want to own and use. There is no which one that is better than the other.
It’s like saying a 300win mag is far superior to the 7rm or a 7x64 to a 7mm08. Some are faster (or could be), some can be loaded with more powder (capacity), some factory loads are as anaemic as anything and some that are hand-loaded just really shine in comparison.

I like the 30-06 that’s why I own one, and a 308 as well.

But, I like a dirty little 6.5 Creedmoor any day of the week but don’t tell the 30-06 I said that out loud.
