I would say the difference between a 30/30 and a .22 The .223 shoots faster than the .308, it also has a flatter trajectory. The .308 has way more nock down power than a .223 It has deeper penetration and makes a much bigger wound channel. They a very different calibers and rounds in general. This is the best I can do, hope it was helpful. You wouldn't want to hunt yotes with a .308 just the same as you wouldn't want to shoot a deer with a .223

A .243 will kill a deer, so will a .223, but a .308 will do it better and faster. If the smaller cartridges are all you have, fine, use them. But if given a choice, take the .308. There is no reason to play the "how small of a gun can I get away with?" game. You have to get into the pretty big stuff before you're talking overkill for deer.
