[QUOTE="ajhardle, post: 665586, member: 49861"] okay, your right that a .308 produces more energy than a .243. But your not comparing apples to apples. The .208 gr Amax is a great long range bullet with low bearing surface and a secant nosecone. hornady's 105 gr. is not bad, but look at the shape. long bearing surface, shorter tangent nosecone can't compete. Run it one more time with a berger 105 hybrid. It's closer in form to the 208. Even with the reduced energy, I came up with 68" wind drift. And remember, with the reduced volume in the bore, the .243 will get huge gains from longer barrel and the .308 can gain some extra velocity, but not much. I'm glad i took the time to check. I would have thought the energy of the .308 would have made it better. [/QUOTE]
