[QUOTE="Daves762, post: 1974835, member: 33751"] I went through this a while back. Have 308, 30-06, and 300WSM. Found that the 06 pushed the 180's better due to larger powder capacity. I have a 30-06 load that pushed 165's as fast as my 300WSM, somehow. I guess it depends on the range you plan to shoot at. 308 and 30-06 claim to be nearly identical in performance. And they are, until you get up to 180 grain bullet weights. I wouldn't worry about the fictitious need to big power for elk. I've been killing them with 308 pushing 150's for years. Just shoot what ya got, enough to be really accurate with it in field positions, and you'll be successful. I've used all three to kill elk. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
