[QUOTE="gregsjt, post: 2084032, member: 88091"] It's true that you could launch any bullet at 1000 yard targets but the .308 with 150 or 168 grain bullets wasn't ideal at all. Sure, handloaders could load better bc bullets but the same problem existed, most .308 rifles had 1-11.25 barrels and you couldn't shoot bullets heavier that 175 or so. I'd argue that the Creedmoor was the cartridge that changed the game, it was the first commercially loaded round with super high bc bullets that also had rifles chambered with twist rates that could handle the high bc bullets. Someone said it above, after 10 years or whatever it's been, if it didn't work it wouldn't still be so popular. [/QUOTE]
