[QUOTE="Hand Skills, post: 1956439, member: 103303"] 30-06 is the way to go, but unless you handload it's weak past 400yd too. If you are buying factory ammo, 308 is loaded to higher pressure than 30-06, so performance is about the same. If you can handload, 30-06 offers a distinct advantage in powder capacity. The heavier the bullet, the more performance can be leveraged by the ol' '06. If shooting factory ammo, you might be best served by a 300wsm at 500yd. Edited to add; Since you already have a .270 Win, run the numbers on a 140gr Berger classic hunter 3050fps, you might be surprised! [/QUOTE]
