[QUOTE="CCAguns, post: 1629564, member: 15399"] I agree to with your theory if both bullets have the same speed. But I'm not sure why your '06 is so slow with 180gr bullets? I get 2800fps with Nosler 180gr Partitions out of my 22" '06 barrel. I can understand using the 308 Win for a semi-auto rifle (semis work better with shorter OALs), but I've never appreciated the benefit of a short action for a bolt action, big game hunting rifle. Pulling the bolt another 1/2" (actually less) is unnoticeable to the hunter. Being able to seat bullets farther out and improve velocities has its benefits. Newer powders have even made the old '06 even better. Hornady's Superperformance ammo provides over 3000fps with its 150gr hunting bullet. My chrony verified this. With its vast bullet selection and today's powders, I can't imagine being undergunned anywhere in North America with a properly loaded 30-06. It does it all!!!! [/QUOTE]
