Default RE: Which one to get 30-06 or .308

I'm sure just about everyone knows it but I think it might be interesting to point out to those that don't that the 30-06 bullet IS a .308. In fact pretty much all cartiges known as 30 caliber actually shoot .308bullets. Even the 30-30. Sofor exampleif you are reloading150 grain speer boat tailsfor your .308, your 30-06 or your 30-30 you take the bullets from the same box regardless of the case you put them in. Resulting velocities will of course wind up different as the powder charges and certainly case capacities are different but the bullets are indeed identical.
