apmaurosr,a 308 shoots flatter then an 30-06 ????????????????????? Every table I look at shows the 30-06 shoots about 100 fps faster then a 308 with the same bullet. I am not saying the 308 is a bad choice but a 30-06 shoots flatter and faster. With elk in the picture I would shot a 30-06, not saying the 308 won't kill an elk, just a 30-06 is a better choice. 2point
