reduced 30-06.... It's called a .308

The 30-06 is one of the most versitle rounds made everything from 90 gr pistol bullets to 220gr match bullets.
I've found that I can get almost the same POI from slow 150's and fast 180's so much so that I do not have to change my scope to practice. My hunting load is a 165 gr Grand slam @ 2733fps It will group 5 shots in under 2 inches @ 200 yds( closer to 1.5")
I also tried 125's @ close to 3000FPS not bad groups to boot!
I just scored a couple hundred german 06 surplus rounds that use 150 gr bullets. Thats what I've been using latley to practice.
