[QUOTE="StammesOpfer, post: 1153514, member: 9298"] It's not.... Most people go with 308 win because it is a short action rather than the long action of a 30-06. You'll hear that a long action will flex more I don't know if there is any truth to that but it also means a shorter bolt throw on a 308. With handloads the 30-06 can be loaded with more powder and get higher velocity than a 308 as long as pressure signs are watched for. Most long range competition rules state 308 win not 30-06. Depends on what you want out of it. Nothing hard says 308 is better infact I would almost argue the other way depending on what your needs and desires are. [/QUOTE]
