The 30-06 as absolutly superior to the 308. For some reason that crowd of queens thinks the cartridge is restricted to it's m1 loading. If you own a 30-06 and reload for it the 300winmag seems kinda stupid and the 308 is a laugh. At the end of the day the reloading manuals have the final say on what it can and can't do. Almost every one of my reloading manuals pegs the 30-06 with a 168 at 3000fps. Substantially faster than any 308. Don't by into the crap when your 308 buddies are blowing out primers and tossing brass after 2 reloads with their loads while you are continusouly loading your 06 to 3k with a 168. As it is with the car world, "Their is no replacement for displacement."
