Remington Model 7600

30-06 handles heavy bullets better than 308. That might be a factor if a moose is in your future.

I have an old 03 Mark 1 that will shoot a 3/8’ group with handloads, and as you say heavier bullet options tilt towards the .06

Just curious, there is not a dimes worth of difference in the ballistics between the two, why .308?

I already own 2 guns chambered in .30-06 and none in .308, so .308 naturally was my interest and the ballistics vary depending on the round anyways. I've really always just wanted to own a .308 though because like I said I have .30-06 and also have a .270.

@bj139 I already have my moose gun, that drops em dead and I can speak from experience! 2018 moose dead in its tracks. I have a Remington .300 Ultra Mag that is devastating. I made the mistake of shooting a deer with it that year also, thank god I shot it in the neck because there was a softball sized hole.

I understand, I have friends that like a variety when it comes to calibers. I used a .357 Airgun to hunt one season, before I sold it.
