With the 1/2" longer case length of the 06 over the 308, The 06 will always be flatter shooting than a 308 because the case length allow more powder. I learned that a 308 was a castrated 30.06 from an Aussie. I had never thought of the 308 that way. I always thought of it as a low performance 30.06.

I made the comment I thought the 308 was a low performance 30.06. I do not think this guy could have got any anger-er that if I had called his Wife, Daughter and Mother Prostitutes.

He did not notice the the 30.06's data was also shown. It showed the the 30.06 was flatter shooting than the 308 and I told him that a 06 had a longer case than a 308.

I do not think he like what I had to say but he also had the data from the Remington flier in front of him. to summarize the 308 IS a low performance version of a 30.06
