I have been a long time reader but just recently have started to post. I have shot a 243 forever but recently ordered a new 308. 24 inch heavy varmint tube 1 in 12 twist. My question is, is it worth ackleying the 308? I haven't seen to many 308s on here that have been ackleyed and I wonder why. Is it not worth it or is there a bigger benefit to leaving it stock? I am thinking of bullets in the 160 - 170 range though I might go heavier. This is going to be a deer rifle, probably out to around the 6-700 yard mark. Hopefully vermin will be in trouble out around the 1/2 mile mark. Suggestions for bullet weight will also be appreciated. Thanks in advace for any replies.
