Guys, I thought I would get a couple of simple answers. Not 18 pages worth. Correction: You got 18 pages. Only about 1 page worth anything. 
I learned long ago you can't reason someone out of something they don't reason themselves into.

 This makes the 308 look like a small red headed stepchild

I thought I was late to the party when I commented in this thread a couple of pages ago.
I should have known better. Agreed, this is quite possibly the stupidest thread ever. Should have ended after about 3 posts. I can't believe it's been on the front page for going on two weeks. I'm not surprised. People will defend their favorite calibers. .243 vs 6mm, .308 vs 7mm-08, .30-06 vs .270 etc...etc...etc.

yeah... 30-06 is better of the two, but 300 win mag is a little better than those... but 300 weatherby is a little better than those 3 and 300 rum is just fun...
learn something new everyday and you will have never wasted a day.

Everyone's just catchin' their breath. Maybe we could do a 300WSM vrs 300WM! I thought it was gonna happen there for a minute - but it didn't!

The 300wm is better...I have a wsm, but I really don't like that case pushing a .30cal bullet.

Blondes vs. brunettes vs. redheads. I like those debates.

That article on .308 vs 30-06 was very helpful. Anyone suggest a scope for shots up to say 600 yards?

It's simple, the military invented the .308, it has very close ballistics to desired range for the military , its more cost effective to make the casings by estimated 15%, it allows soldiers to carry same weight and more rounds. It all boils down to preference.
