This question has probably been answered a million times but not for me. I Have always shot the 30.06 and loved it. I read Silent warrior with Carlos Hathcock and he used both the .308 and the 30.06 for sniping but why don't you hear of the 30.06 being used much over the .308 for long range sniper type shooting anymore????? Everything I see is all about the .308 and other larger calibers. when I look at the ballistics of a 30.06 compared to a .308, It looks plain to me that the 30.06 should out do the .308. I don't get it?????
