Or 200, depending on the bullet weight.

So you're basing the .30-06 200 yard advantage on the 190 grain bullet which is getting a little heavy for the short .308 case? Nobody seems to much use bullets heavier than 180 in either so that seems kind of irrelevant to me.


190, 200, 210, 220 but I also provided data at the other end of the spectrum - 110g - where the .30-06 spanks the .308 Win.

In any case, my point has been the .30-06 provides capability that the .308 Win cannot match. Whether everyone - or even anyone - takes advantage of that extra capability is what is not relevant. The extra apability still exists.

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

A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.
