[QUOTE="Michael Eichele, post: 315297, member: 1007"] My intent isnt to slaughter you! Just offering my .02 The above quote isnt quite fair. You see to gain that average of 100 FPS by switching from the 308 to 3006 you have to jump up to a long action which is heavier, less ridged and makes an overall longer rifle. The gain doesnt justify the sacrifices. If however you want to make the sacrifices and jump to a long action then at least get some bang for your buck and do it right. This is where you would want to step it up to the 300 win mag or at least a 7mm Rem mag. To me, these calibers are worth the sacrifices of a long action. For the record, one of my loads is a 200 SGK at 2500 FPS. This load offers over 1000 pounds of energy and adequete remaining velocity to reliably open at 750 yards in standard air density. IMHO, this is a very muscular 308 load. [/QUOTE]
