Today I shot my new Savage .308 and used Federal 7.62X51 FMJ ammo, grouping nicely at 100 yards. I went to Remington Core-Lokt .308 rounds and both my dad and I had a hard time keeping tight groupings. From what I hear a fair number of guns have some preference. I just haven't found the right round for deer hunting yet, as the FMJ simply will not do. I also await an answer to this question.
no You could use the 308 ammo in an Enfield.
Best would depend on intended use. Federal makes good 30-06 ammo. Soft point for hunting, FMJ for target use.
lighter bullet and more ammo can be carried as opposed to the 30/06 or 308
There is no long action 308, it's a 30-06.
30/06 has a slight edge because of powder capacity If you are looking to buy a deer rifle you should probably go for the 30-06. The .308 is a 250 yard cartridge, while the 30-06 is a 275 yard cartridge, I don't know much about ammo but I know my rifles well.
Without changing the bolt, the 110 can be fitted with barrels in 7mm-08, 35 Whelen, 30-06, 270, 26-06, .308, 243, and .280.

There is really no ONE "best" brand of ammo- some rifles like some ammo, other rifles, well.... other ammo. 150 grain is a bit on the light end for a 30-06, but you might try a box of Federal, Winchester, and Remington to see what works best in your rifle.
Only ammo marked "30-06" on the case head- or military ammo for "US Rifle Caliber .30". Do not attempt to fire 30-30, .308, or 7.62 NATO ammo. ------ The US Military briefly experimented with converting .30-06 to .308 by the addition of a spacer sleeve in the chamber. It was abandoned due to the adapter coming loose during prolonged firing. .32 acp can also be fired through a .30-06 with a cartridge adapter. The M1 Garand rifle is designed to fire a specific loading called "M2 Ball" ONLY. Anything else at your own risk. .32 acp adapters are currently available.
I've heard 1-2 inches for the .30-06, so the .308 should be that or better.
the bet gun to deer hunt with is a 30-06 or a 308
