[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 1544021, member: 8873"] Since long range competition is the goal I would want as much in my favor as I can get. A 30-06 will have a velocity advantage with any given bullet. As mentioned by gohring 30-06, the .308 can have a problem with 1000 supersonic. I have shot matches that went to 1000 yards with a .308 (7.62x51) and some guys couldn’t compete past 800/900. I know that had to do with the 168 SMK being used (and altitude), but that little extra velocity from a little bigger case could have made all the difference. I know the .308 can win, it has won every F T/R match I’ve ever been to.:D If I’m just out shooting steel for fun...who gives a crap? I have a cheap bolt action .308 that I paid $150 for that will shoot factory made 175 match ammo well under 1 moa out to 800. Might be the first thing I grab when “training” someone, but not what I would want to compete with. [/QUOTE]
