I reload, shoot and hunt with both, truth be told if there ever was any difference in inherent accuracy you would have to be shooting really long range to notice. My 308 holds 1/2" with 150gr BTSP with Varget and my 30-06 holds 1/2" with RL19 and 150gr Accutips. To me as a hunter accuracy is a wash. Interestingly if there ever was such a thing as an inherently accurate cartridge it is neither the 308 or 30-06, my 6.5x55 is so darn accurate I have a hard time finding anything it does not shoot REALLY well, and it is older then the 30-06 even the 30-30!
