Since the 308 & 30-06 are near identical in velocity the only real difference left is a fellows preference for a long or short throw bolt? I myself wouldn't choose neither.

I like fast and flat bullet shooters. 270 Win & 1/4 bore 06 are ideal for my use.

Again 7mm & 300 Win Mag calibers are not preferenced cartridges in my neck of the woods.
