[QUOTE="Jinx-), post: 315166, member: 19791"] [SIZE=3][FONT=Times New Roman]Looks like Barnes stop making it, but they list 250 grain Original loaded in .308 with 38 grain of RL 15, which will be propelled out of the barrel with 2140 fps and if you use H380 then 2205 fps, then 30-06 will do same bullet at 2237 fps as you can see not much of the difference. Then with 250 grain bullet I see an argument can .308 be successfully used in brown bear territory… I guess you can but .338 can do it better. Just remember to shoot heavy bullets out of .308 or 30-06 fast rate of twist is required to stabilize such bullet. So my white tail riffle in .308 with 1:12 twist will not be a wise choice for heavy bullets. When it comes to 338 then 338-06 will perform better then .338 fed [/FONT][/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
