[QUOTE="Darryl Cassel, post: 28423, member: 34"] Noob The loading manuals I have all state that the 06 will achieve faster velocity with the max loads listed. For instance, the 168 gr in the 308 will produce a max listed velocity of 2754 FPS in the new Hodgden manual while the 30/06 has a max listing of 2897 FPS with the same bullet. The 06 in the other manuals I have list the 06 as getting between 100 and 150 FPS faster velocity with most bullets tested. You can shoot a 180 gr in the 06 faster by 100 FPS then you can a 175 gr in the 308. This is per the new Hodgden manual. Barrel length in the "tested rifles" can make a difference. If the 06 has a 20 to 22" barrel and the 308 has a 24 to 28" barrel that was tested, then the advantage "can" go to the 308. Both being equal barrel lengths, the 06 will create a faster velocity most every time. DC [/QUOTE]
