the 308 and 3006 are the exact same bullets but diff cartridge if you reload.so what if 308 is slightly less velocity and energy.It has less recoil and more accuracy.that's why it's the marine and army sniper rifle cartridge,medium.Anyways,It's a fact that there are plenty of fine calibers out,so if you get a good hunting bullet and put it the right place any caliber is good and that's a fact.Everybody swears on this and that but just get good with your rifle
.308 for me, it’s a short action .30-06 with much less recoil, yet larger than a .270. There’s a reason LE & Military have used it for years for sniping; Special Forces as well.
The .308 shoots most of the same projectiles at about the same speeds as .30-06..... It ain't less recoil.
