[QUOTE="RBrowning, post: 389111, member: 412"] Miller Outdoor "I think .308 is better than .30-06 because it has a history of being a more accurate round. Also because it has noticeably less felt recoil with virtually no noticeable loss in performance. Plus, they're generally a fraction lighter to lug around." I would like to know how you get noticeably less recoil shooting the same weight bullet out of a lighter gun with no noticeable difference in performance. I would think that taking a given weight projectile to the same velocity, a lighter gun will transfer MORE recoil to your shoulder, not less. If you are feeling less recoil with the 308 I would say that it is a difference in the rifles stocks, not the cartridge. The small amount of difference that powder volume contributes to recoil would hardly be noticeable. [/QUOTE]
