Probably a little more expensive than the .308 per shot I would guess?

[@Arrogan28]

Totally get it. My father was a big western fan. He named me after a western star. And he had a 30-30 that I used to go hunting with him with. There is not a time I don't see a 30-30 that I don't think of him. I admit though that the 30-06 is a better all round hunting weapon, 1000 yards vs 200 yards effective range, can put down a griz more easily, or a big moose, but still love the 30-30 just because it reminds me of him. Ain't that the way it happens...

[@pubert3]

@@alexmh6131 correct. this is the only reason why I purchased a .308 as my deer rifle of choice. In terms of price to performance the .308 is more economical. the .30-06 is definitely, in terms of ballistics, the superior round however. Flatter Trajectory and slightly better range for a price I find to be too unjustifiable for my personal economic incentives at this time. I am also a mediocre shot at ranges beyond 150 yards where I am incompetent in calculating bullet drop and wind and other environmental factors. I simply can't find the time to practice and the .308 is less expensive for practice.

[@wickedmainah950]

My pawpaw gave me a Remington 30 06 740 semi when I was 8. Shot it with him and started hunting with it at 10. Could shoot a tick of a deers ass 100 yards open sights. Loved that gun, unfortunately it was stolen several years ago

[@wseverin]

I'm sold on 30-06. About 25 years ago I was shopping for a rifle that I could use for just about any game that I might draw for in AZ. A Browning semi-auto in 30-06 checked all the boxes. Usable for any game I was likely to draw for. Ammo reasonable cost and available everywhere. Excellent ballistics. A very reliable semi-auto. Never regretted the choice.

Same to both of these plus it was the gun I grew up using for everything and it was what my dad left me when he passed away

[@dr.froghopper6711]

My dad left a Marlin 336, manufactured in 1951, and chambered in.35 Remington. My wife used to have a matching rifle but in 30-30. Both rifles were sweet shooting, short range guns. Quick to shoulder, very effective on deer. My brother said that dad’s Marlin is a thumper but he needs to learn reloading. He can’t find ammunition but he’s got a little brass that my dad hung onto from years ago.

[@wagstag89]

That's actually the same reason I prefer 30-06. You can load it all the way up to a 220 grain bullet which turns it into a legit large/dangerous game rifle and pushes it beyond what pretty much any other non magnum cartridge can do. Most people would never have a need for that though and when it comes to whitetail or pig there's not much difference other than effective range.

I had a neighbor take me shooting one day and he demonstrated the difference between different rounds. We used some watermelons as targets. We had 30.06, 223, 9mm, 380, 44mag, and 45acp. Here is what happened. 223... Hit the watermelon made little hole in and slightly bigger out. This round in commonly found in what the media calls an assault rifle, we shot it out of an AR15. 9mm... little hole in and quite a bit bigger going out. Common round in semi-auto handguns. We used a Baretta (cant remember the model but similar to the military issue) 380... little hole in little hole out. This round is not as common any more, it's slightly larger in diameter than a 9mm but not as powerful. We had a small revolver for this one (cant remember the model) 44mag. This was fun... the watermelon had a big hole in and was missing most of the back. I didn't like shooting this one as the revolver we used kicked like a mule. It was a Ruger blackhawk. 45acp. My favorite of the handgun rounds we used. Similar effect as the 44mag but the Colt 1911 was smooth and easy to shoot. This round is not as popular as it used to be but still a great round all and all. And last was the 30.06 I saved the comments about this one to be last as the media doesn't have as much problem with single shot type hunting rifles as they do with the big scary sounding "semi-auto" sporting rifles. We used a Remington 700 for the shooting and I fell in love with this rifle (I now own one even). I cant tell you what size the entrance hole was because the watermelon pretty much exploded on impact. When I say exploded I dont mean like it left a crater in the ground but we were about 20 yards away for all shots and the 30.06 we saved for last and we ended up getting watermelon guts all over the range and even back on us. Not just one melon either, we hit 3 melons with each round (there were 3 of us shooting that day) and all 3 times with the 30.06 we got sprayed!

The 308 was created to put the power of the 30-06 in a smaller, lighter "30-30 sized" cartridge, they have almost identical performance by design. No surprises here and a good demonstration of what 46 years of advancement in cartridge design looks like.

[@utubetommy]

As I recall from my deer hunting days after I got back from service in '68, I looked up the ballistics of my .308 caliber Remington model 788 and compared the ballistics to the 30-06 round. At 500 yards, the bullet drop for the .308 was about 8" lower than the 30-06. Not much difference between the fps or foot pounds either as I recall. Personally I've owned .308 rifle and 30-30 but have fired all 3 calibers. For hunting deer I don't think it would make much difference which caliber was used within 100 yards; the deer would still be dead with a well placed shot.

Well the 308 is essentially a more compact 30-06 so no surprise that it did pretty much the same thing, although I was expecting the 30-06 to do one more wall than it did, I think with a softer target to measure these, you would probably see a moderate increase in damage with the 30-06

[@callofthewildoutdoors]

the 30-06 150 gr load is about the weakest load for it when comparing ballistics to the 308 at 150 gr they are just about identicle fps,and trajectory load up 170 gr 30-30 and 180 in 308 and 30-06 and see a huge difference the 30-30 will make all first block the 308 makes thru 1st wall of second and 30-06 will make thru to 3rd block 3 out of 4 shots 1 shot made thru 2nd partition of 3rd block and cracked rest ( remington core lokt ammo all round nose) pointed soft point rem core lokt will penetrate a lil further with both 308 and 06 but keep in mind the pointed soft points almost never start to mushroom on deer inside 100yards unless you hit some heavy bone like a shoulder

[@OldSchoolParatrooper]

I run 170 grains in 30-30 and 30-06. 165 grains in the 308. At 100-400 yards the 308 and 06 behave almost identical on soft targets. The 30-30 due to a very blunted tip actually seems to hit animals just as hard if not a little more at 100 yards then at about 150 and beyond, the other two definitely take over on performance

[@buccuducks]

Hunting in WI I have identical results. Under 150 yards my 30-30 consistently does the most damage to soft targets. Beyond that, 308(perfered) or 30/06 for accuracy and terminal ballistics.

Nice comparison - again :) I like it! Folks tend to forget the .308 was designed to provide about the same ballistics as the normal 30-06 round in a shorter case.. Seeing them perform so similarly is nice to see.

[@WHOTEEWHO]

Hey Ken! Thanks! This was a fun one

[@thatguysky123]

Ken Helmers the 308. Is actually more accurate and has less drop per 100 yards. But yea, the 308 was designed as a shorter 30-6 but nowadays with the advanced rifles and technology, it's surpassed

Thanks Skylar

[@JustinGray70]

There were over a dozen .308 rounds made and they never surpass the 30-06 record kills at 1000 yards.

[@fatfuckingswine3765]

You're a moron if you think the .308 has surpassed the 06. The 30-06 is capable of sending a 180 grain bullet to over 2800 fps, you can't get anywhere near than with the .308

I've fired all 3 but I own several different styles of 308 after gel block testing and accuracy testing the 308 edged out the 3030 and 3006 but fell short to the 7mag and 7mm08 and 270 but ammo availability is a must. So whatever you buy makes sure you have plenty of ammo for it

[@jimsilva4915]

The 308 and the 3006 are basically the same , with the 3006 having a slight advantage in speed and energy

[@blaws6684]

You are correct. Very similar ballistics under 100 yards. In the NE they are practically interchangeable. I prefer my 308 for deer choosing from the two. More often though I grab the 30/30 , my one and done gun loaded with 160gr ftx bullets

[@dmedwardsiii]

after watching a pile of blocks, and other junk being shot by various calibers, my guess is that all 3 only went through 2 layers, after that the were too broken up to do any real damage past that, and the extra damage was due to the amount of energy difference between the 3 rounds

[@igotajopamerica3040]

Great video!!!. 30-06 is a great round.and as the 30-06 is was talked about in my generation. The 308 is being talked about more in the younger generation. Good example I'm in my 40s and deer hunt with a 303 British Enfield. Most people younger than me have no clue what a 303 British round is. I'd go with the 308 since if I was buying a new one tommorrow. Just becouse more stuff will be coming out for it in the future. Easier to find rounds 30 years from now. 30-30 id take for heavy wooded areas or brushy. If I had to take the furthest shoot with accuracy for me. 30-06 becouse I know the round better.

[@unclemikeb]

It helps that the 30-30 was invented `first and was quickly adopted by many hunters. The 30-06 was more expensive for the gun AND the bullets which contributed to the wide acceptance of the 30-30. It really is a sweet all around bullet. Hit a deer in the head to preserve the meat and I guarantee it will not take even one step.

The 30 - 30 bullet isn't jacketed. Plain ole lead. The other two bullets are jacketed. That will affect the penetration of the 30-30 because it disintegrates quicker.

A 30-30 is a good saddle gun since it is shorter than the other 2. I had a Winchester 30-30 and it has killed a few deer, but my meat stick was my Savage 270 bolt action. It was deadly accurate. Ballistic tips make it even more deadly.

[@tombeyer375]

Yeah, those Ballistic Tips are something else! Majority of the time, when you shoot a deer, the bullet goes clean through. Years ago shot a deer with my 7mm Remington Magnum with a 150gr Nosler Ballistic tip. Deer was at 225 yards, standing broadside on a steep upward hill, that swept the front legs back some, facing to the right. Upon skinning the deer, found the bullet just inside the skin of the left leg. Bullet had broken right leg, went through ribs and boiler room and broken left fron leg. Used ALL the energy on that deer! Bullet is now a conversation piece!

Amazing... I thought my 30-06 would've dented that 4th wall! Maybe I should rethink the 308... 30-06 was what we had in Vietnam (M-1 Garand). It's what I've stocked up on but now I need to do some more pondering while at the fishing hole!

[@tommoody3615]

thanks for the video. what distance are you shooting from?

[@bldlightpainting]

This is part of the reason why I chose the .308 because it has significantly more power than a 30-30 but yet not that much less than a 30-06 in a shorter action rifle.

[@mkshffr4936]

The test kind of confirms or at least intimates a lot of what we instinctively knew. The .30-30 is not the most powerful 30 cal but is exceptionally well balanced, efficient, and handy for most medium-large game and antipersonnel use. The 06 is a good deal more powerful in the sense of energy it can transfer but of course is not nearly as efficient or as well adapted to the handy lever carbines. The 308 is a compromise which gives you most of the performance of the 06 (at the expense of higher pressure) in short action autoloaders as long as you stick to moderate bullet weights. Work up some loads with 220+ gr hard cast or solids and the 06 would likely step ahead handily. In a bolt action the 06 family has always made the most sense to me. For a midsize autoloader or box magazine lever gun the 308 and it's progenitor the 300 Savage do seem pretty logical.

[@lukeagstigler]

I appreciate your comment, I think with the polymer tip .30-30 that Hornady is offering there's new life for this great old round. I live in Indiana so the 30-06 that I hunt with is a bit much at 100 yards or less but it works. I don't have much experience with a .308 but assume that unless you're using a heavier bullet like 180gr+ you're getting much the same performance (with less recoil). When I first bought my own rifle I thought I'd get one all around rifle that could do almost anything and now I've got a 94' .30-30 that's 100 yards accurate, and a .30-06 that's shoots better than I do.

[@WornoutRNPARAMEDIC]

My deer hunting round was the .3006. My defense gun was a great old M1 Garand to cover both needs. If I were doing it over I'd deer hunt with the .308 and have an M 14 in 308 for the 20 round box magazine for defense, end of the world stuff. Both bigger rounds are fine. The 3030 was OK for prison guard wall towers, but I'd rather have the knock down power of the two bigger rounds.

[@edppcz]

I think the different characteristics of the different lead tops, although same weight should probably all be changed to FMJ to even the playing field.

[@freddaniali]

I love these tests! It really puts the power of these rifle loads into perspective with the cinder block penetration. I have hunted hog with a Marlin 30-30, a Juggernaut Tactical JT-10, and my Remington 740 and I have never had to take another shot with the 308 or the 30-06. The 30-30 always needed a second shot, especially when I shot the hog in the shoulder.
