I have been viewing ballistics data and have noticed a few things.
They say the .308 shoots flatter and is more accurate.
Every chart I've seen shows that the 30-06 caries more energy, more velocity and has LESS drop than a .308 at all ranges...
So how the hell can people claim that the .308 is the more accurate cartridge when all ballistics charts show data that points to the '06 being more accurate/better.
I'm going with the 30-06 for those reasons and the availability of the ammo in shtf situations.
I need advice on purchasing a firearm and all of your guys help would be appreciated.
Here are my criteria for the weapon.
I need a 30-06, that's bolt-action, has a 5 round capacity magazine, and a 26" barrel. Stainless steel would also be a huge bonus. Any recommendations would be helpful too. Oh and also It needs low profile iron sights. (just incase I have to take something out at less than 100 yds.)
Thanks.
