Does modern loaded .30-06 have any performance advantage over .308? I know it can use heavier bullets (220 grainers).
I know you can't use the hot loads in an M1 Garand, right? 150 grain ball only? What about 168-ish grain stuff?
What about that vented gas nut for the Garand? Can you use heavier loads with it then? What about the 220 grain bullets?
I fired some 220 grainers through a Remington 7400. Knocked something loose on the inside, methinks.
There's a shortage of .30-06 autoloaders. There needs to be a military grade (i.e., reliable and easy to field strip/clean) .30-06 semiauto that has 5 and 10 round box magazines, that can use all loads from the lightweight varmint stuff to the 220 grain elk bullets.
