[QUOTE="Tex_Hunter, post: 1544131, member: 31749"] What competitions (I didnt see an answer on this yet)? Unless the rules state it must be 308 or 30-06, then look elsewhere entirely, as others have noted the 308 will give you marginal performance and the -06 will only give you slightly less marginal performance and beat the cr*p out of you on a longer course of fire. If the rules stipulate 308 or 30-06 then go with the 308. Running something like a 175gr SMK or comparable will get you out to 1000 in the 308, and the incremental performance of the -06 in that bullet weight will not be meaningful enough to justify the increased weight, powder burned, and recoil. Again, this is all assuming a competition. For games, the 100-150fps you gain by going to the -06 will only return a couple % higher hit percentage. [/QUOTE]
