Why is the 308 better for long range shooting?
The increase in recoil isn't worth the velocity gains.
Why is the 308 better for long range shooting?
.30 '06 is a lot cheaper than the going rate for .308 if you get it from the CMP. HXP Greek surplus, all reloadable brass, and it shoots great. When I bought .308 a few months ago, it cost me $.50 per round. .30 '06 from the CMP was around $.24 per round when I stocked up toward the end of last year.
There's a reason military snipers in the past relied heavily on the .308. It "usually" is more accurate.
