[QUOTE="308 nate, post: 86714, member: 1920"] DanC, I'm with ya' all the way on family time coming before play! The Lord has blessed me with 3 wonderful children and they are more precious than any gun. I think your decision with the .308 is a very good one. I have not to date shot a deer past 700 yds. but feel my 7mm has suficiant energy. I am shooting a 169.5 gr.ULD at 3075 fps. out of a 30" barrel with a drop chart generated b.c of.7, entered in my computer is running 1300 ft.lbs. of energy. with a muzzle velocity of 1850 fps @ 1k. back to the .308, a well built palma rifle shooting the 155 lapua makes an awesome 1k yd."F" class rifle/match rifle/palma rifle. the palma is .308 only but shot in the same manner as match rifle. "F" class is off a bi-pod. The .308 will hold it's own in all three competitions.When your done competing it makes and awesome 500yd. hunting rifle. There is no acurracy advantage going to the 6.5-.284 and .260. The only thing you give up with the .308 is wind bucking,And believe me in ND we consider 5 mile hr. wind a perfectly calm day. Well best of luck on your endeavour and I'm always happy to share what little knowledge I have. 308nate [/QUOTE]
