[QUOTE="johnnyk, post: 1015002, member: 307"] First off, let me say welcome to LRH. Secondly, reloading changes everything. Do some research but I think that an inch of barrel (+/-) averages to approximately 25fps. I guess your mileage may vary, as they say. With that in mind, as I look at the Nosler #6, both the .30-06 and .308 as tested wore 24" barrels. The 06 fastest 150/155gn bullet was 3056, the .308; 3001. If the .308 had a 26" barrel then theoretically, it would be travelling only 5fps slower. This may change, however, if you were using heavier bullets, as the longer bullet would start to encroach upon the .308's powder capacity. I would rather have the "aut-6" over the .308 also. With a 28" barrel, of course. :) JohnnyK. [/QUOTE]
