308? Aka 30-06 short is better? For an all around hunting rifle?

It makes you a better hunter as you have too get 100y closer to have the same impact energy with your heavier Elk bullets at long range

My ‘06 shoots clover leafs to 3/4” w factory ammo all day, factory production rifle, I am sure it that is tight enough

German Salazar, a competive target shooter built an identical spec’d ‘06 & 308, and recorded the differences in competition, They weren’t big enough to make a difference in the Elk woods. 30-06 did better at longer ranges as the bullet stayed super sonic longer
