Bugger,
Would love to hear about the animals you've seen shot with the .308 that died slower than when shot with a .30-06. Did the .308 bullets bounce off?
Between me and Eileen we've taken 16 species of big game around the world with the .308, ranging up to around 800 pounds in weight, including some considered pretty hard to kill, whether big elk or similar-sized African plains game. Oh, and have also been standing/sitting beside other companions when they did similar things with the .308 as well.
This list could be augmented and extended by including a few other sub-.30-06 cartridges as well, including the .270 Winchester, 7mm-08/7x57, and others.
