[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 1811564, member: 10178"] My choice would be the 308 Win in your situation. Depending on the yardage you intend to be shooting the game mentioned but if under 300 or so yards the 130 Barns pushed to around 2900 to 3000 fps which is doable in the 18" 308 would handle this game with NO PROBLEM and will expand properly. I have been shooting a 21 1/2" 308 Win using the 125 Nosler BT on deer out to a bit over 300 yards for years and it is bang flop deadly. I know others that use the 130 Barns and they report the same and I have seen what this bullet does to a deer. [/QUOTE]
