What's to love about the .308 Winchester?

[Michael Eichele]

Below is a link about the value of the 308 win. It does not compare the 308 versus the 30-06 but makes a comparison to other popular calibers.

What do the .308, Arnold Swartzenager, Ford trucks, Kleenex, Richard Petty, McDonalds and Coke have in common ?

Answer: They are the standard in their field. Time tested and proved. Some things have come along that are equall to or even a little better but they still are the standard to be compared to.

The 308 has a lot of great attributes. Efficiency, moderate recoil, versatility, ease of loading, nearly endless barrel life.... As a long range cartridge it's rather....boring.
