Get the popcorn boys...this will be fun.
Although I’m sure someone else has posted this article, I wanted to give my mediocre $.02...

I think he came up with the correct answer here.
Here’s my defense of his conclusion:
1. The .308 is your granddaddy’s .30-06. Improvements in bullets and powders have made it so.
2. Nevertheless, the ever so slightest nod must go to the .30-06 for slightly more capacity.
(Although, if I ever did go on a great bear hunt it would be with my .375 HH, one son would carry my .338 WM, and the other would carry my 1895 .45-70: not my .30-06!)
3. In the end, IMHO, it comes down to the specific rifle. What is in front of you? Who had it before you and what memories are attached?
Anybody?
