i know shooting 308 out of 30-06 is possible , but how about accuracy ?
assuming two identical rifles 308 and 30-06 , does 308 out of 30-06 is as accurate as on a 308 rifle?

NO way, the bullet would dammage itself in they open space from they shorter case before the throat, and while trying to centre itself while entering the rifling.

May lead to a real emergency.
No thanks.
If it needs explained then one should probably sell their guns and take up a far less dangerous hobby.

I did it once by accident. It didn't damage or destroy my rifle, which is probably the best possible outcome.
POI of the one shot was way out of the group at 100 yards. If I had to do this in some post-apocalyptic nightmare scenario, then I'd want to be within 10-15 yards of the target. I'd hold for center of mass and I'd expect to have to finish whatever it was with a knife or a club.
I wouldn't count on it to be either safe or accurate.

If Montana had a standing army, a 270 Win with Federal Blue Box 130's would be the standard issue.

Anytime you change a component, accuracy can change.
Having that much of a headspace reduction can certainly affect accuracy, how much and in which direction can only be determined by actual testing.
Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Give a man a welfare check, a forty ounce malt liquor, a crack pipe, an Obama phone, free health insurance. and some Air Jordan's and he votes Democrat for a lifetime.

Just changing the headspace can change accuracy. so , 38 in 357 or 40sw in 10mm are all inaccurate?
