[QUOTE="entoptics, post: 2263229, member: 104268"] Both would absolutely work at your suggested 200 yd range limit, but I'd be inclined to use the 308. Ran some rough ballistics on the 168 TTSX. At 2800 fps, that bullet will still be traveling ~2300 fps and have ~1975 ftlbs of energy at 300 yds. That would wallop even the biggest bull if placed in the boiler room. The 140 Accubond at 2800 fps would have roughly the same velocity, but be carrying 300 ftlbs less energy, and expand to 10-15% smaller frontal area. Still a killer I'm sure, but not quite as good on paper. Anything else to consider between the two guns? Is one lighter to carry or easier to handle? Does one have better glass for hunting? For sub 300 yd shooting, pure accuracy or pure power isn't the only consideration in "what's best". [/QUOTE]
