    Here's you answer right here, but if your going to shoot heavy for caliber bullets (180Gr and heaver) the 3006 will have a slight edge over the 308 even with a short barrel.

    Use 154gr ADI data for the 150 ELD-X. That's how Hornady groups them in their reloading manual.
    2208 is the best burn rate for a 7mm08 with a barrel longer than 16 inches, if you can get it.
