[QUOTE="RemingtonShooter, post: 405399, member: 25739"] New member, first post, so be gentle! I have two favorite rifles, a .308 and .270. Both BDL's. They are hunting rifles of course. I not a rookie to shooting but I have never really gotten to in depth. However, when looking some ballistic tables it seems to me that a 140Grn 270 is generally pretty close to a 150grn .308. Of course there are many variables, but i was looking at the Hornady Superformance SST and GMX's. Although the wieghts are different, velocity and energy is about the same. I dont know a thing about BC and sectional density. A 400 yard shot is max for me so whatever a .270 can do, cant a .308 do ? (sorry Mr. O'Connor). The .308 seems to hit as hard, but less recoil? Why is it not used as often as .270 for hunting? Thanks, RS [/QUOTE]
