[QUOTE="Don A Parsons, post: 1635446, member: 97414"] I've run the 308 and 30/06 for years,,, more so on the hunting grounds,,, both of them worked good with in their range,,, a very small edge I'd give to the Ought-6... Of course the magnum category filled in a gap for a few years before I returned to both of those cartrages,,, I jumped into the shooting sports about 6 years ago,,, I was signing up for 1 caliber,,, 1 cartrage,,, 1 kind of bullet,,, 1 powder charge,,, so I handy capped my Ought-6 to get the same ballistic performance as my 308... That way all my Mills and MOA's matched pretty close across the board form 100 to 900 meters... 2630 ft-per seconds was my mark since all 3 of my rifles like this charge... Lucky indeed to find that in the mix... Yes the 30 can fill those needs on the hunting grounds as well as in competion,,, of course other calibers and cartridges can do this as well... I'm taking on my next adventure in the 6.5 community very soon,,, same hunting grounds but I'll close the gap a bit with the smaller boolitz... Ha... And yes all the remaining rifles will see matching barrels to the mix as time passes by... Hopefully 2 rifles of the same caliber... I'll miss my 30/06 days I'm sure,,, but thats part of life,,, change happens with age,,, more shooting sports with parts of hunting critters along the way... The Ought-6 is part of the adventures that got me to where I'm at today,,, hard to believe that the trail head for me started 40+ years ago a 30/06 was my first new rifle back then... A copy cat Midland to replicate a Parker Hail,,, many rifles showed up along the way,,, my last unit in 06 is a Remmy LR that will get sold off or re-barrel in the years ahead... Old school tool for changes into a new world I guess. LOL [/QUOTE]
