[QUOTE="Mike 338, post: 1543925, member: 41338"] Either/or... There's more than a few kiss'in cousin calibers that have more powder, that don't offer significant ballistic gains until you change the weight of the projectile. The 308 has a great case design that's very efficient in the way the best powders ignite, or something like that. Plug the end of the case with a 180 gr. projectile though and the '06 is the clear winner. Just one of those things. Otherwise, they're pretty close. I personally prefer the '06 to hunt with because it's very versatile and the additional case volume gives me plenty of wiggle room to find an accurate load without worrying about velocity. Typically in competition though, you throw a fair amount of lead downrange and all the best shooters know that managing recoil to your advantage generally results in better scores. Similar ballistics, less recoil... seems like a recipe for success. [/QUOTE]
