You can have it throated to shoot the 230/240 and still get a case full of powder for some .7 G1 BC's. I know a guy that pushes a 220 Nosler Partition about 2550 fps. Can't do that with a 308.


You can go light loads as well. my buddy loads his Garand with some light 168 loads and they shoot great in hi rifle with less recoil than LR 308 loads and very accurate.

If you are trying to win an argument with your friend, the 3006 is very versatile and has taken everything that lives on this continent without problems.
