[QUOTE="Joaquin B, post: 606089, member: 20152"] This has been a very interesting discussion. I own a Winchestem M 70 in 30-06 and a Sako AII in .308 Winchester. I have shot and killed a few animals with both and they were all equally dead when whacked. I occasionally use the .308 Sako in metallic silhoueete competition, using Sierra 168 gr. MKs for the 500 M rams. The most accurate load I was able to develop in this rifle, with this bullet produces 2620 fps from the rifle's 23" barrel. The most accurate loads for the 30-06 with Sierra 168 gr. and 175 gr. MKs develop velocities of 2780-2850 fps. In a hypothetical situation where long range work would be required, the 30-06 would be my choice, since the The 30-06 has the edge in long distance shooting due to greater case capacity available to generate higher velocities. For most hunting or medium range target shooting, there is little, if any difference or advantage in using one or the other. Both will perform if the shooter does his part. [/QUOTE]
