I'd have to say the 308 Winchester is the most underrated around here. It will do anything the 270 or 30/06 will do, especially for those who only use factory ammo. But the way I hear people talk, a 30/06 is a good elk cartridge but a 308 is nowhere near powerful enough. And, a 270 is great for those 400 yard shots, but a 308 just isn't fast enough. confused
