[QUOTE="imyourhuckleberry, post: 1974784, member: 18206"] I'm a 30-06 guy that has been shooting this round for 53 years and understand why you would question the need for a 30-06 as much as I would question the need for a 308. Basically not much difference at all. Ballistically when it comes to trajectory they are pretty close up to 300 yards where the 30-06 has a slight advantage of an inch or less and at 400 yards the advantage increases by 2 inches and at 600 yards the 308 drops 8 inches more than the 06. I make the comparison on a 165 grains Federal trophy bonded as I could not find factory loads for the 09 in 175 grains, any way I load only 165 grains for deer and elk myself with better ballistics than the factory loads. If there is really a true advantage is that I can shoot an M1 Garand with this round and I do. [/QUOTE]
