Depends on what you are shooting and the manufacturer of the 308 bullet. With the best loads I'd take the 308 every time. Now with some of the better slugs, on really large game I might feel different. While the slugs make a large diameter hole, the old school Foster slugs are soft and don't give very deep penetration.
