How do they compare size wise?
That's at the muzzle. The superior BC of the 7mm projectile will even that out further down the range and I would bet that at 250-300 the energy figures start to come together pretty quick..30-06--------------------------------7mm-08
150gr. SP-----------------------------150gr. SP
2950 fps------------------------------2650 fps
2850 ft. lbs.---------------------------2340 ft. lbs.
You make your own choice....
I don`t think the difference is arguable 7mm-08 is .420 & the tried and true .30-06 is .417 I think I will keep my 06...... Don`t tell me I don`t know the diff, been doing this over 40 years.Maybe this is me being too critical but it's probably because he has little knowledge of rifles, an uniformed notion of cartridge power, or both.
Maybe i ll let him try the Garand and Finn M 39 once he gets into High School
I'm interested in why the OP wants to know how they compare sizewise.

All three of them can share powder.........While the 308 and 30-06 can share bullets, the 7mm-08 and 30-06 can share powders.
