Re: .30'06 vs .308

I had asked this question at the cmp forums and it was related to an M1 garand chambered in 308.

My question was: "Would there be an appreciable difference in an m1 chambered in 308?"

I was answered with the following article.

Every time that article is quoted I get a small chuckle.

Full of pseudo-evidence and anecdotal reasons why the 308 is more accurate than than it's bigger brother...

After owning several of both in match grade rifles I (as well as several other shooters on here) have yet to show that the 308 is more inherently accurate than the 30-06. Even German Salazaar's information is based upon finishing and hit %'s during positional shooting over thousands of rounds.

It shows that the 308 is more shootable in High Power and XTC than the 30-06 is. Long strings in uncomfortable jackets/slings/gloves in a sport which shooter fatigue contributes enormously.
