And that just goes to show how dumb people are. The advantage of a .308 is near 30-06 performance in a short action which makes for a lighter and handier rifle. A .308 in a long action is just an anemic 30-06.
IMO and from EXPERIENCE It shows the 'ignorance' of people to think and claim 30-06 performance from a 308 case.
Factory IS close. I HANDLOAD and am NOT limited to FACTORY cartridges including the 30-06.
