That's why I said "comparing identical bullets." If the bullets are identical, they will have the same ballistic coefficient.ORIGINAL: eldeguello

Obviously, it can't, IF both projectiles have the same ballistic coefficient.

It has a flatter trajectory. Ittravels only 100 to 150 fps slower.
This is just ridiculous. How can it have a flatter trajectory if it is traveling slower? Look at a ballistics table comparing identical bullets, and the 06 will be flatter EVERY time.

The '06 will shoot flatter-but not enough to make ANY difference at all in hitting at long ranges!
Right,the trajectories are very similar. But, the 06 is still flatter, every time, which was the point of my post. I didn't say "a lot" flatter. Sighted in at 200 yards, the 06 generally shows 3-4 inches less drop than the 308 at 500 yards. Theoretically, that'senough to be the difference between a clean kill and a miss, or worse.The '06 will shoot flatter-but not enough to make ANY difference at all in hitting at long ranges!
