[QUOTE="MoBoost, post: 2260654, member: 3455"] As far as competition goes: 30-06 was the Palma king - simply because you didn't have much choice - 30-06, 308 or 223. In late 80s 30-06 was removed from Palma - and for long range 308 became the king. Either one shines with 175+gn bullets. The only time you see 155gn is at international competitions where there is 156gn cap*. 30-06 is still shot in Garand and Vintage (Springfield) matches. 30-06 will out-cheat the wind with "power", 308 is easier to tune. Neither one of these could be called "inherently accurate" - the powder column height-to-diameter is all out of whack. * I've shot FTR "expert" with 155 Sierra Palmas @ 1000 yards - wind tosses them around like rag-dolls.
