.270 and .30-06 are based off the same case and aren't much different. 7mm-08 is a .308 necked down to 7mm and there's not much difference between them


The .308s parent is the .30-06 as well.

Just FYI.

To the OP, if my maximum range was inside 200 yds and I already had a 7mm-08, I'd probably recommend a .35 Whelen, .444 or the like. Those will extend your season as well in a single shot gun.

The .308 has a slight velocity disadvantage. The .308 is 7.62x51 whereas 30-06 is 7.62x63.

I love .308 though and think it's a very capable round. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend one to somebody.

I thought the .308 was completely redesigned to facilitate feeding in automatic weapons?
