MYTH #2 – THE .308 IS INHERENTLY MORE ACCURATE THAN THE .30-06. I am well aware of the article by Bart Bobbit that was posted over 11 years ago, and makes comparisons between the two cartridges that go back 50+ years. In any comparison of the two cartridges as they were loaded in that time period for the M14 and M1, I am in complete agreement that in perhaps 9 times out of 10, in rifles of comparable accuracy, the .308 will exhibit slightly greater accuracy. However, once you remove the criteria that the .30-06 cartridge must be loaded down so as to be suitable for firing in a M1 Garand (bullet less than 180 grains and a powder no slower than 4064), you can essentially remake the .30-06 into a cartridge that is much better suited to it’s case capacity
