[QUOTE="RMulhern, post: 389336, member: 999"] Have you ever used the .308 Win round in intensified competition?? I have! And I've used both calibers in over 50 years of NRA HP competitive shooting! This includes across the course shooting and long range Palma shooting! The .308 Win wins hands down! I have personally coached Nancy Tompkins at the NRA Whittington Center in Raton, New Mexico on one occasion over a 3 day period of time when Nancy fired at least 80 shots from 1000 yards and the extreme deviation (vertical spread) was no more than 1/2 the diameter of the X ring....which is 10" diameter on the NRA LR bull! I have shot many LR bolt rifles built on the '06 case and I can tell you personally that the .308 Winchester cartridge let me shoot many clean scores; moreso than I ever fired using the '06 round! And as for a hunting round.....I've always said that if more people shot .308s instead of the 'manglehams'.....they'd be a helluva lot more meat put on the table!! [/QUOTE]
