[QUOTE="Canadian Bushman, post: 978098, member: 41122"] The 308 has come a ways from shooting the 168 at 2700 fps. 30 cal bullets also have come a good ways from the 175 mk being the bee's knees. In my factory 26 1:12 rem i pushed the 215 berger to 2675 safely. A little rough on brass but it held up fine in the heat. In my 30" 1:10 ftr rifle i pushed it to 2730 around max load in my tight chamber. I currently shoot that bullet at 2610 at sea level. At 1k at sea level in 80 deg it looks like this 215 berger hybrid @ 2610 30.5 moa elev. 6 moa wind. (10 mph) 1534 fps 1124 ft lbs I dont recommend either the 260 or 308 for lr elk hunting nor would i use them. Im also a huge fan of all the 08 cases. But if i wanted to take a sh:t on one of the other catridges, im pretty sure i could make a compelling argument. Bottom line they are all great chamberings, pick one and learn how to maximize its potential. [/QUOTE]
