[QUOTE="3006savage, post: 333519, member: 12069"] My user name is a dead give away for where I stand on this one. I will conceed the 308 has proven to have better long range target accuracy. Under match conditions the wind and drop can be adjusted for shot after shot unlike hunting. However the 06 will push a 200 grain bullet at the same velocity that a 308 can push a 180 grain bullet, or an 06 can push a 180 grain bullet at the velocity a 308 pushes a 165 grain bullet etc. When you take into the account the improved BC I feel the 06 would actually have better accuracy than the 308 on that first shot when estimating environment conditions. I would think that the wind drift and enviromental factors would play a bigger role than any inherant accuracy advantage the 308 holds over the 06. Not to mention the 06 would hit a good bit harder on game. Quality and cost of brass are the same laupa, norma etc and you will be hardpressed to find an 06 hunting rifle with the barrel burned out.
