Military arsenals who produced match and service ammo in both 7.62mm and 30 caliber have fired thousands of test rounds/groups with both. They also found out that with both ammo types, the smallest groups were with the 7.62 by about 50 to 60 percent. M1 rifles in 7.62 shot about twice as small of groups as .30 M1s at all ranges. |

Even though the .308 is a more acurate round than the '06, the .308 could never develope the power of the '06. |

It is also a snapshot in time, as it was written in 1997. There have been some new developments in powder, bullets and what is being used on the High Power Range since then. |

The reason the 308Win seems more accurate is because of the fact it has a higher load density with standard military powders then the 30-06, if you handload rounds with high load densities with the right powders in the 30-06 you will get similar accuracy on similarly built guns. |
