[QUOTE="Michael Eichele, post: 789285, member: 1007"] Don't let the naysayers fool you. There is a lot more potential in the 308 than many old schoolers will have you think. The biggest thing that hold the 308 back is its reputation for 1: short barrels, 2: 168 grain and lighter pills and 3: older load data with older powders. Given 24-26" barrels, heavy bullets and modern powders there is plenty to be desired. That said you can take the 308 to well over 1k on paper and approaching 1k for deer size critters. At many hunting altitudes there are loads the approach or even exceed 1000' pounds of energy at 1k. With its insane accuracy it is a worthy caliber/cartridge. Enjoy! [/QUOTE]
