[QUOTE="QuietTexan, post: 2831635, member: 116181"] In general, ~95% of the handload data that gets put on the internet. But specifically any data (weight vs weight/ handload vs handload) where a 308 beats a 30-06, a 30-06 beats a 300 WM, etc. I can push a 180 HH north of 3000 FPS in an off the shelf 30-06. Doesn't mean I'm not scrapping brass after two firings for loose primer pockets, but man it's a killer when it's running. Hunting-wise screw it, brass is cheap compared to all the other costs;. Dead is dead and in the freezer. You can soup up a 308 Win to run HOT, this thread proves it's possible. If you absolutely positively can only have one rifle and happen to have a 308 Win in hand, load 'em up hot and send it. As much as I dislike the Baby 308 Winnie it works great in an AR-10 pattern mag. But the easy button is always more case capacity, increased pressure never goes as far as more room. I took it to mean something like a Palma rifle. Not my game, but those guys do some impressive things. Better than the average Fudd can do with a scope easy. [/QUOTE]
