[QUOTE="westcliffe01, post: 932884, member: 35183"] Flip, only you know what kinds of shots you take. Let me appeal to you to consider a 7mm RM With a 180 VLD at 2950fps the trajectory looks as follows: 200 Yard Zero 10mph crosswind 400 -4.3 el 1.9 wind 2273 ftlb 600 -9.6 el 3.0 wind 1808 ftlb 800 -16 el 4.3 wind 1422 ftlb 1000 -23.6 el 5.7 wind 1100 ftlb The 308, on the other hand (175 SMK @ 2600fps) 200 yd zero 10mph crosswind 400 -8.2 3.1 1442 ftlb 600 -14.3 5.1 1031 ftlb 800 -24.7 7.5 712 ftlb 1000 -38.2 10.3 478 ftlb With a decent brake on it, recoil should be no problem. Otherwise you are really limiting yourself to 600 yards, which is perhaps all you need. The 7RM or 7WSM for that matter is about as low as one can go and still have the means to reach out a bit. You might prefer the short action WSM with the weight limit you have in mind. [/QUOTE]
