I didn't bother to run them through the calculator to check down range velocity but my money says they're to close to care. Lets not forget the .308 can also shoot 180-240 grain bullets as well.

Just keeping the facts straight, I use a .270 and don't even own a .308 anymore.
Somebody always says this. Without s.d. its misleading. Why would anyone ever shoot a higher s.d. bullet when a lower s.d. bullet would be faster. You didnt tell us the speed of the 308 x180gr. Compared to the similar 270x140
