Ha! .277/.308 is by far more efficient. Anything .270 is better.

I'm sure a 30BR is the most efficient 30cal from a 20" barrel.
But efficient to me could mean something totally different than you.

We'll all agree it's not a .30-378
Calvin, I have two 8mm Mausers both WWII guns. One I made into a manlicker, 22" barrel. The other is a 21" Scout set up.
Both of the above shoot very well at 200 yards...bores not perfect.

OK,
So the thought filter presents...
7mm-08 AI with 120gr Hammers?
308 WIN with 137gr Hammers?

7/08 AI does 3200 with 120s, hammers may be faster. We shot the 120g Ballistic tips, no issues killing deer and hogs.

Mine is an old husqvarna M98 I won on auction for 205 bucks Canadian! Feel like I cheated.
Buttstock was chipped and cracked. Buttplate missing. Some wood glue and a 16 dollar slip on. Recoil pad and I got a hell of a tough reliable brush/truck gun for cheeeeeap!!!! Can take punishment and dish it out. That action has no business being that smooth and fast!

Heck yeah!!! A lot of folks thing you can't shoot heavy for caliber bullets to any great effect out of non-magnums, especially in 30 cals for some reason.My slo-mo cam catching the devastation of a 308win at 804 yards load with 215 hybrids
30-06 with a 208 amax is one heck of a death Ray.

Proofs in the video…just need to crunch some powder with 215's in the 308 case 
Quote from bitchin rides "If Your Car Ain't Turning You On, Get Another One". Well I have 3 308. An M70, an FAL and an AR10. I like all three, but "they don't turn me on". I don't get excited as if I am going to go shoot my 338LM, or my 300 WBY or even my 30.06. Heck I have more fun with the AR57, 5.7x28 rifle.
