RE: Help me choose .308 vs. 3006
[quote] was any consideration given to the rifle being shot? [quote]
From the article:
“All that aside, lets go back to when the .30-06 and .308 were the only cartridges allowed in NRA match rifle matches. Both cartridges were used in barrels of equal quality as well as the same action and stocks by several top shooters in the USA. Both cartridges were used in matches at ranges from 100 through 1000 yards. Many thousands of rounds were fired in both types. Bullets from 168 through 200 grains were used with several powder, case and primer combinations.”
It sounds like they tested them equally. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think the deer, or the hunter for that matter, could tell the difference but as I said this article offered fairly unbiased, fact based information addressing the topic.
