[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 1544123, member: 8873"] Well thank you Sir for being so cordial. We can have different takes or opinions and still get along. 7.62x63 (30-06) vs 7.62x51 (.308) My take is this: You take a cartridge and cut it down almost 1/2” taking away 21% capacity, and bump pressure up by merely 8% and that doesn’t translate into better performance. Close, but not better. Can a .308 outrun a 30-06? Sure, but it will have more to do with how it’s loaded or the rifle set up than the case capacity difference. The military proved that when they introduced the 7.62x51 and the ball ammo exceeded the ‘06. Everything being equal thought, the bigger case will win. [/QUOTE]
