[QUOTE="del2les, post: 2245206, member: 9299"] The 308 was my first cartridge I shot at and in 1,000yd matches, and then it was the Palma 800, 900, 1,000 yard round. Not to mention for many years, it was my Nat'l Match 200, 300, and 600 yard round. With the right bullets and in trained hands, it is a very capable round. Are there calibers and cartridges that have higher BC's, velocity, energy and less drop at similar distances? You bet! BUT, there are very few with such a history of usage, success and the ability to easily tune a wide variety of loads into tack drivers. Personally with the right bullet for the game and conditions, I can push my 308's to 800 yards on varied game. Similar to my 30-06's. [/QUOTE]
