As a kid growing up, my family lived on venison. And Dad was passionate about keeping the freezer full. He shot at everything that moved with a Rem 760 in 30-06. At first he used the iron sights, and then he moved up to a 3-9 Scopecheif IV.
One day he was plugging away at some deer over 600 yds away. He finally walked the rounds onto target and knocked one or two over.
The B S part was what he had to say about his buddy's 308.
"That POS could not even reach those deer. The 308 is the sorriest excuse for a cartridge that ever existed."
I attempted to explain the actual marginal ballistic differences between factory '06 and the 308 ammo to no avail.
