[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 1807509, member: 5302"] A target rifle shooting 250 grain match bullets 2150 fps in a 1:8 twist barrel tested about 6 inches at 1000 yards. Won matches, too. 308 was first used in NRA's matches in 1964. Within two years, broke all the records shot with 30-06. It tested about 3 inches at 600 yards, 30-06 tested about 6 inches. In 1966, NRA Highpower target scoring rings were cut half. Too many unbreakable ties shot with 308's. One match rifle was tested at 600 yards shooting several 10-shot groups. Sizes ranged from 1.5 down to 0.7 inch. Then put 40 shots inside 2 inches. [/QUOTE]
