Was the 308 for economical reasons or is it truly more accurate?
If it is, is it because of less powder and less recoil ?

Winning^^^^^^^^^^^Quite a few Germans, Japanese, North Koreans and ChiComs wish to chime in and voice their respect for the 30-06 ....but they cant.

The US military ball rounds - 150 gr for .06 and 147 gr for 7.62 - are ballistic almost the same, with the 147 7.62 being a little better at LR because of the boat tail bullet. That is what the military was after, in a shorter round. When we switched from the M1 to the M14, the rear sight was the same. The .06 is a better hunting round, but the .308 usually beats the .06 on the target range.

[MENTION=109095]V8r[/MENTION], who says that the two are ballisticly the same? That is not true nor ever was. Do real research, not just reading Internet forum ramblings.
[MENTION=110070]WhiteOak[/MENTION], .308 is not more accurate inherently than .30-06, but it is more economical.
Guys, do some real searching and reading for cripes sake! Hell, even Wikipedia has better information than that!
