Long action tends to be smoother than short. Not always just tends that way.

But the velocity of the 30-06 does have an edge over the 308 in a bolt rifle. Not much of an edge but 200 fps on average is still a edge.

Actually 200 fps is a huge difference.
If you know your kinetic energy formula (1/2 mv^2) you can see that velocity is squared.
So 200 fps delivers considerably more kinetic energy.
Remember
one of the reasons the military went from 30-06 was because to a certain extent it was it was an over-kill ON HUMANS!
So you go from something being an over-kill on humans to being perfect on mid to large size game.
Add to that the intense amount of bullet selections and before you know it you'll be shopping for a 30-06.
