[QUOTE="eaglesnester, post: 415640, member: 9431"] The United States Department of Defence went to the 7.62 Nato round (308) to replace the 30/06 because the 7.62 Nato round ment a shorter action, shorter lighter rifle than the M1. Shorter round, get more on the ship or freight car, soldier can carry more ammo. 7.62 Nato round more inherently accurate round. Most all Palma shooters have abandonded the 06 and have taken up the 7.62 One could make the same comparison between the 300WM and the 300WSM. Now dont get me wrong the 06 is still a mighty fine round and I hunt with one. I choose the 06 because I sometimes like to be able to load 200gr bullets. I feel that the 06 handles 200gr bullets better than the 308. but I still like my Browning 300WSM for target shooting. When we get right down to it I don't think there is that much of a difference between the 300WM and the 300WSM unless you are splitting some very fine hairs. Get what ever turns your crank [/QUOTE]
