Thanks reb!
Do I read it correctly when Im assuming that a 30-06 at 100 yds is at 2631 fps and a .308 at muzzle gives 2820? And as the distance increases the difference diminishes between the two?
OK classlets do math! All together now!
The difference between 30-06 and .308 at muzzle is 90 fps so how far must the 30-06 travel to lose 90 fps?
The 30-06 loses 279 fps the first 100 yds = approx 3 fps a yard.
90/3=30
Am I correct in assuming that for this given loads my friends calculations are correct? The 30-06 is down at .308 starting speed after only 30 yds.
So have we now busted the myth of any practical superiority of the 30-06? (
maybe Im the one who should be in a TV-show and not the honorable dr death
). Oh dear! What will come of this?
