[ But in terms of practical hunting, why not carry the lighter and softer recoiling gun?
Good grief, you make a different, unrelated point in every post.
What does this have to do with your original contention that the 308 is equivalent to the 30/06?
no one has said that a cannon is necessary to kill a deer.
You say "because I can load a smaller cartridge to a higher pressure and make it perform like a larger cartridge at a lower pressure, that makes them equivalent cartridges".
A jeep and a Corvette can both be driven at 50 mph. That doesn't make them equivalent.
