Thanks Uncle Nick. I got a headache thinkin' about all this stuff so I'm gonna just pretend all my brass is identical down to the .01 CC case capacity, and attribute my misses to phase of the moon or earth rotational variations...

many reloaders purchased primer pocket swages and rendered them scrap. Many reloaders do not know the 308 W case is larger in diameter than the 30/06 case. many reloaders have no clue why the 308 does a good job keeping up with the 30/06 with 150 grain bullets.

There are other reloaders who don't have a clue why the 308 doesn't do a good job keeping up with the 30/06 with 150 grain bullets with SAAMI spec barrels and pressures. Those from a .308 are about 100 fps slower. That, to me, is not keeping up.
