RE: Is the 308 the best all around round?
I have taken deer, moose, caribou, black bears with the .308 and it performs exactly like a .3006. The people who think the .3006 is "so" much better likely have no experience with it in the feild. The small difference in velocity is sometimes non existant in factory loads as 06 loads are notoriously underloaded to avoid blowing up old military rifles and the inevitable lawsuits. You can hunt anything up to but excluding the large bears with a .308.
