[QUOTE="johnnyk, post: 928118, member: 307"] sierra28, Nothing wrong with the .308 and 190's. Not sure it's the best marriage for LR application's. I haven't recently shot the .308, but from my past experience (years ago), and some quick calculating, you're barely "squeeking" by at 1K, if that. According to JBM, with a MV of 2800fps (not likely), BC of .533 (G1 - 190gn SMK) @ 1000yds you're running 1328fps w/744ft-lbs. That would be supersonic, but can you push the 190 to 2800fps with a .308? There are better vehicles for getting somewhere faster. Just "my" opinion and not of eveyone here. Some guys here love the .308Win. I had a accurate .308 years ago, shot it a lot, but then I climbed on a .300WinMag. I'm not saying it's the holy grail, but compared to the .308. I'll probably never go back to the .308 Winchester again, but that's the beauty of having so many cartridges available to us. To each his own, right? JohnnyK. [/QUOTE]
