“That combo in a 30-06 is a stone cold killer on anything I've pointed it at. Never failed to fetch anything I sent it after.”
Same could be said with similar load in a 308 Win. They are more similar in every way than different. No knock on the 30-06.
Yeah but the -06 is more powder capacity. As my dad used to say about engines, there is no substitute for more cubic inches. Who doesn't like an extra 100-150fps?
Right On! Never could understand why someone would want a slower round? Oh wait, most claim the short action is better. Lol
