[QUOTE="nuance231, post: 806807, member: 17108"] Think I would personally go with the .308 to learn on. While others are far more qualified than me in longer range shooting, IMHO trigger time is most important in learning and maintaining shooting skills. The more rounds downrange the better. I can shoot alot longer without pain/flinch/scope eye with my .308 than with my 300 WM. It's an accurate round for as far as most folks can shoot. FWIW I have a .223 bolt gun and a scoped 22LR I also practice with. Want a challenge? throw out some targets/cans at unknown distances for a hundred yards or maybe a bit more, range em and dial your scope for 1st round 22LR hits. Not all that easy, the skills are the same as much longer shots with centerfires. Once you get a little good at it challenge your friends, might get an adult beverage or two out of it. [/QUOTE]
