[QUOTE="HarryN, post: 942411, member: 69773"] Thanks, what I meant actually is that my perception from reading is that under similar loading pressures, barrel length, and bullet choice, the 30-06 will give you an extra 100 FPS over a 308. All this, at similar recoil, less than 1 inch longer overall length, and similar cost for both rifle and rounds. 100 FPS gain might not seem like much, but 1 000 yards is a long shot, at least to me. I am not criticizing the 308 win, and yes it is proven, I am just curious if there is any other advantage over the 30-06 other than the logistics of carrying longer bullets. Of course I am assuming that a setup for 1 000 yard shots is a bolt action. [/QUOTE]
