[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1628990, member: 2736"] I cant imagine anyone comparing the 308 to the 30/06 because like you, I feel that they are in a totally different group of cartridges. It is still the standard for comparison for performance and recoil. It is also the basis for the 50 BMG design by John Browning (Dimensionally the 50 BMG is just a scaled up version of the 30/06). There are many "New" designer cartridges that make claims of performance, that will never stand the test of time and sink into obscurity. Its good to see someone defend some of the classic cartridges that still exist and perform as they were designed. sometimes we get caught up in the latest and greatest and forget where we came from. With all the new powders and bullets, the 30/06 is far from dead and will perform as well or better than some when compared with like components and pressures. Just My Opinion J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
