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.
I'll take a .308 over a .3006 any day even if the .308 is slower.
The .308 in all cases, same bullet, powder type will be roughly 100fps SLOWER than the .3006
All reloading manuals will say this too.
