But, to tell you the truth, I have three 308's on the bun rack right now. And I can always get ammo for them,no problem. But they are not really a long range rifle, like some others I could name.No, the 308 is not worth having as a long range rifle. Neck it down to a 260 Rem., then you will have a long range rifle worth keeping.
.22 ARC, yep, interesting...But, have you gotten up to speed on the 6mm MAX? If not... give it a look I think you'd like it. I think it's what the .22 Valkerie should have been 6mm Valkyrie. Just thinking out loud, CheersI think I'll watch that 22 ARC for awhile. That might be what I need.
I took a look at the 6mm Max and it looks interesting. but I'm already set up for 243 win, I just need a new barrel. I really need to just install a 1-7" twist 5.56 barrel I have sitting on the shelf. Test out some new ideas for seating 75 gr ELDM out of my 5.56 AR.22 ARC, yep, interesting...But, have you gotten up to speed on the 6mm MAX? If not... give it a look I think you'd like it.

I understand your dilemma, the 75gr ELDM sounds like a do-able bullet, I'm really big on the 77gr MK in my 1-7 twist, CAR with that said, I going to keep an eye on the 6mm MAX... being a 6mm fan from way back. Good luck... with the 75gr let me know how it works out. Cheers.I took a look at the 6mm Max and it looks interesting. but I'm already set up for 243 win, I just need a new barrel.

If u decided to build a 6.5×47 from one of them the lapua will surprise you. Any of quality powders. 37gr 41gr it shoots same 1/4" or less groups . Lower w/ lighter loads & a higher with hotter loads. Tac driver. No load work up. Berger bullets or sierra & it eats all very accurately. Everything I put in mine does 1 /4" or less. Had a rem 700 in 243 & had a 6.5mm silent barrel 1in 8. A HS percision stock timney trigger , all 14+ yrs ago. Gets their little faster than 308 w/ less wind drift. Don't get me wrong I love all 3 of my 308's & won't part with them. 3 different type of rifles so couldn't pick looser to get ride of.No offense ment just wondering what people thought about it with all new calibers out there. I'll always have one and that's my go to caliber for almost all my hunting
