30-06 vs 308 which is best to cast for?
I'm eyeing a savage bolty only $200 at basspro for this weekends shopping but i cant convince myself which caliber would i prefer between these two. I plan on casting and powdercoating them so velocity would have to be low, dont plan on gas checking either. I also want to take into account that i'd prefer an economical load and i notice the 30-06 has a large case volume and that could mean 50+ grains of powder... Could i get some of your thoughts or experiences on these two and if you cast for them also, how did it go?
so far all i know much of these is that the 30 has more velocity and more recoil over the 308 but they are both practically on the same level of accuracy.

.30 US (.30-40) best cast .30 round.
