[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 176712, member: 12"] Not sure where the info about problems with the 308 at 800 is coming from. The 308 is a decent mid range round, not bad and not great but decent. Now not many like a 17 lb 308 gun though. Real interesting article in Nov precision shooting about the new DARPA designed 308 shooting in excess of 800 with first rd hits and that is at NIGHT, sub MOA at 1000 and with only 18.5" 1-10 twist Hart barrel and 13 lbs with can. Check their website , it was still up last week. You can pretty much forget wildcats, and the Marines have worked the 338 Lapua with the British Paras last year at Quantico. Even if they adopt the 338, the 308 will stay and they will still work (along with everyone else the ultra long range 375 in all probability. Lot of work on both military and civilian side there.
