[QUOTE="liltank, post: 531353, member: 13275"] I completely agree. I use the 178 BTHP in my 18" barrel. I use 43grn IMR 4895, with 210M's. I get around 2450fps. With my current load I can get to 580yds w/ .75-.5 MOA accuracy and enough energy w/ speed too take whitetail. That's plenty for the short barrel rifle I own. Varget, RL15 may give you better speed. My suggestion would be to stick with .308 and get a 20 or 22" barrel. You might be able to sell the 16" to help supplement the purchase of the new barrel. I second the use of 155's and look at 168's.
