    No, the .308 is the 7.62x51, not 7.62x54.

    The 7.62 x54 has more poder capacity and can hold a longer heavier bullet than the 308. But I think it has a little less capacity than the 06. I think using one of the old Mossin Nagants adds a little more character. With a decent soft point heavy bullet it should have more than enough power.
