[QUOTE="Diamondback, post: 738203, member: 29413"] Well thank you Bart B. You are a Senior Shooter in regards to your solid knowledge base and BTDT background. Thank you for your insight and educational points. I don't consider the M852 a long range round. For accuracy testing and grouping - it can do that fine. For medium Hunting- a 308 Win can do that just fine for me. For long range hunting? NO- not ethical to me. For a long range round in a 308 Win? I don't consider the 308 Win a long range system. I consider it a hunting system. Also, in the last 10 years, there have been issues enough to warrant some changes concerning M118LR ammo rather than to stick with it. The MK316 mod 0 is it's replacement.
