[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 3020788, member: 48043"] I'll never own a 308 in a rifle. I have a pair of 300win and a pair of 300 rum rifles. If I do anything, I'll go bigger. The only standard 30 I have in the house is a 30-06, and that is only a 30-06 because I don't like tearing down accurate rifles. I've got a 280 barrel in the corner that was supposed to go on the 30-06. The dang 30-06 shoots well enough that I'll shoot it out first or buy another action... The best thing to do with a 308 is neck it down. I currently neck down any 308 brass I buy or find to 7-08 for my pistol. As to the 308 staying supersonic to 1K., you have to actually make speed. Most times I've chrono'd a 308, it is a good bit slow. I don't hate the 308, but if I ever own one it'll be a pistol. I've shot some awesome groups with a 308 in a pistol. My Pops had one that would get down to 1/4 to 1/3 moa in calm weather if the shooter held his own. [/QUOTE]
