Here are some statements made about this thread that talks about the differences in the 308 Win. and the 30-06 Springfield.
"If you've read enough threads, this has been hashed out countless times. With bullets that are medium to light for 30 caliber, the 308 keeps up with the '06 nicely. Go to 180gr bullets, or larger, and that additional powder space becomes evident. Sadly, this thread will wind up being 50 posts long, and it's all been done.

"The minuscule differences are the grist that pointless arguments are made of
Unfortunately, the more trivial the difference, the more it seems to spawn arguments. Anything that is different by perhaps a few thousandths of an inch, or a hundred feet per second, would be recognized in the real world as having identical performance in the hunting fields.
Oh well!"
"See post #2 and read a reloading manual. Compare the two rounds with heavy-for-caliber bullets. When discussing typical hunting ranges, and 180gr bullets or heavier, the '06 is a little more gun. It's well-established and not really worth additional bandwidth."
