That's just funny. I'm thinking of all the people that just had a rise in blood pressure and then an instant sigh of relief when they saw "just kidding". I was looking forward to some entertainment but I wouldn't rule it out just yet. We'll see if this goes anywhere. How 'bout, "308 'cause if it's good enough for the military it's good enough for me" LOL.

I have a range we can let you prove me wrong at. Heck we will shoot all the way to 1000 yards if you want to. Bring your 30/06 and show me.

What you really need is a 300 Winchester Magnum. That is the best caliber on the planet, probably even in the solar system and maybe the universe.

My 308 is more accurate than your 30/06. And i can prove it It's a coin flip between my Thompson Center Icon .30-06 (left) and Thompson Center Icon .308 (right) zeroed at 200yds, both shooting 165gr Nosler Accubond bullets with 48gr IMR4320 and 44gr Varget, respectively.

Both are good but can you shoot deer and elk with a 17 HMR. Pretty close to a 30.06 isn't it?

But what I want to know is, which gun will make that .308 or 30-06 more powerful?

But which will be stronger at 1,000 yards?

06 can easier use a higher gr bullet and push the lighter ones faster, but in most factory loaded stuff they are within 100fps of each other.

come on no one with a 30/06 that wants to prove me wrong. Sure if you're shooting an out of the box hunting rifle, I might try and dig my ancient FN out and find a recoil pad to slip on it.

They're both mediocre. What you need is a 300 super ultra magnum with +++++++++p+++++++++

come on no one with a 30/06 that wants to prove me wrong. Believe me: a comparably built rifle in .30-06 can do it. Obviously no one thinks you're worth the trouble.

On a more serious note Carlos Hathcock used a Winchester Model 70 in 30-06. He seemed to shoot pretty good.
