You're not talking about handloading "modern" .30-06, you're talking about loading an over-pressure .30-06 +P or whatever you want to call it.
“Winchester also lists a 190g .30-06 load at 2750fps. Velocity and energy at 300 yards is listed at 2339fps/2309fpe with a 7.5" drop. There is no comparable .308 Win load, the 180g Power Point being the closest in terms of bullet weight but it only has 1971fps1553fpe at 300 yards with a 9.7" drop. In fact, as measured by retained energy, the .308 /180g load at 95 yards most closely resembles the .30-06 energy at 300 yards.”
Please demonstrate an equivalent .308 Win load from a major manufactuer or pressure-tested load data.
You have no clue what you're talking about. The loads you think are special .30-06 loads are really just SAAMI .308 loads. At this point I'm going to stop arguing with you and just start posting quick load output proving you're wrong.
Your magic .30-06 load bought you a whole 38 ft/s.
So are you contending the Winchester .30-06 190g load doesn't exist? (It is on their web site.) Or is the truth that you just can't find a comparable .308 Win load?

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.
