[QUOTE="thwatson2, post: 1914809, member: 56839"] The efficiency is more about the same caliber performance. 30-06 and 308 are gonna throw a 165 grain bullet within 100 FPS of each other. Cartridge capacity of 56 grains vs 68 grains of powder. Therefore for very little performance the 308 uses less powder in a shorter cartridge. It technically has a shorter burn column and should chamber easier within a shorter action. Therefore we consider the 308 more efficient [/QUOTE]
