RE: .308 calibre for whitetail
As I am sure you are probably aware, the .30-06 is in fact a .308 calibre just as the .30-40 Krag and the 300 H&H Magnum. It all depends on what you put behind it (amount and type of powder) and the weight and type of bullet used as to what it will do. Throw in the marksmanship variable and have fun.
