The version I like is, "There is no replacement for displacement."
However, there's another factor in the .308/.30-06 comparison--recoil. The .308 gets around 5% less velocity that the .30-06 with around 20% less recoil.
True but with that logic why do we have 300WM, 300Bee, 300RUM, etc. Besides, any time recoil is a factor, you can always load down but when you need it you can't load up. No knock on the 308, my wife shoots one but I prefer the -06 in all cases.
