I am not here to argue either, but if one is indeed more accurate than the other, then it matters not if in a hunting situation or paper punching. One is more accurate period. Not saying that one is, but the consenses is, that one is.
I would not agree with this. When target shooting you shoot repeatedly at a known a distance and have the ability to "dial in" factors like bullet drop and wind drift.
When hunting it is often aone shot opportunity at an estimated range and estimated windage. This makes the shooters estimatesa far bigger factor than any inherent cartridge advantage. It is in this scenario Iwould favor the 06 because it shoots a 15 grain heavier bullet at the same speed as the 308. This would generally improve BC and tend to minimize shooter error in wind drift and even range andthat more thanmakes up for any minute accuracy advantage the 308 may have.
