Easy to shoot and reload for. 150-165 grains in my M70 seem to work best. Plenty of power for whitetails and accuracy for varmits. Whats not to like.

Some will recommend a 30-06 over the .308. In my opinion I would take the .308 over the 06. If more power was need in a 30 caliber I would choose a .300 Win.

Someone once explained the differance between the 30-06 and .308 at this: .308 is getting ran over by a cement truck the 30-06 is getting ran over by a full cement truck....Same out come....just more splat.
