[QUOTE="slowrunning, post: 1282569, member: 45968"] Thanks for the replies guys. I ran the numbers based on 7000 ft elevation, which is actually quite lower than the few places I hunt. I'd be using a 26" barrel. I've read on some benchrest forums of guys getting pretty ridiculous speeds with 28" barrels so I think 2600 is attainable in a 26. I also read about 40 pages of Broz thread over the last few days and that's what has really got me thinking about hunting with the heavy bullets and a 308. Most of that discussion is about the magnum calibers though so I figured I'd throw the 308 out there and see if I got blasted over suggesting it. [/QUOTE]
