[QUOTE="Outlaw6.0, post: 933106, member: 23486"] Keep the 300 for serious long range work. With the long range bullet offerings starting at 200 grains, your rifle has the capability to reach a mile with ease. For close(er) range shooting, there is nothing wrong with your 308. If it's accurate, keep it & rock on. If/when you do shoot out the barrel, the 6.5 Creed' is a great choice. Factory match ammo is cheap, abundant & accurate. Reloading components are cheap & of high quality. Recoil is light & under most all environmental circumstances, it will outperform the 308 in most all categories except one, barrel life. As of right now, unless your 308 doesn't perform or you're just tired of it, stick with it. A valuable training tool that will allow you to take game in excess of 500yds (skilled shooter needed) coupled with thousands of rounds of barrel life are hard to beat. t [/QUOTE]
