[QUOTE="Don A Parsons, post: 1546999, member: 97414"] My plan was to continue along with the 30/06 till I jumped into F Class and small PRS matches with a old school 308. Most of these are close range,,, 400 to 900 meters that are easy to accomplish with the small case,,, yes ,,, my 30/06 could do the same thing easy,,, but so can the 308. Of course the 08 uses less powder, no big deal,,, but I like the 2 rifles I have for these shooting sports,,, my option is limited to one direction since I can't turn the 308's into 30/06's since the actions aren't long enough. My 30/06 can be switched over ,,, that way I'll have three 308's. 1 style of case,,, 400 chunks of brass for each rifle,,, 5000 boolitz / 5 {thousand} packs of the same bullets,,,, 10.000 primers. Ha. Nothing like having one system with 3 rifle options. Most shooters pick and choose different cartridges,,, there ain't nothing wrong with that option either. I like everything standardized under 1 umbrella ,,, that way my shooting sports never run low on supplies. And it's easy to switch over to hunting and predator control along with general fun plinking with family and friends. There isnt no 1000 or 500 meter shooting happening in that category of hunting for us. Life after long range for us is close range fun stuff ,,, each person gets to pick and choose what works for them ,,, good times come to those that find their needs that work for them. Odd potato in the pack seems to work for our crew. Mr Potato to my friends that is. Ha [/QUOTE]
