Your post contains two errors:
1) you ignore efficiency - case capacity is not the only feature of a case
2) .308 has a higher specified pressure than .30-06. They are not loaded to the same pressure.

And an omission: .30-06 is essentially never loaded with top loads, and as a result the loads can be EXACTLY duplicated with a .308. Same bullet, same velocity.


While trying to point out his "two errors, and an omission," you just agreed with his sentence that you quoted.
