Re: why does the 308 always trump the 30-06
7.62x51 is current mil round since the 70's( late 60-early mid 70's depending on what data used), When the 06 was phased out of service. The gun industry has built systems and developed data as well as add ons for the service round( they always have). The technology is alot neater than it was when target sights were the biggest add on!!
I Agree with VKC..... 308 is popular , faddy, trendy, but when it comes to down range performance and versatility in reloading the old 06 isn't touched!!!
My .02 worth the .308 is a fine round my wife hunts with one!!!
