so i know the differences for the most part.

short action the the .308, long on the 30-06

heavier bullets in the 30-06

couple hundred FPS faster in the 06'

and how in target shooting competition 06's arent really in it and mostly .308's b/c of the better acuracy. now thats the question...accuracy only on a more practical scale.

for a savage arms hunting rifle, say 300 yards and under is there really any 'inherient' better accuracy seen favoring the .308?

also is the kick all things being equal, any less w/ the .308 due to the couple hundred FPS slower on average it shoots?
