[QUOTE="Barrelnut, post: 1364119, member: 74902"] Barrel life on a 308 is like 4000. Barrel life on a 7RM is about 1200~1600. A 7RM heats a barrel very quickly. You can shoot the 308 to your hearts content and ammo is reasonable. Plus match grade ammo is made for it. Should take a deer and elk to 500 yards. If you are wanting to shoot a lot and practice long range. the 308 or even the 6.5 Creedmoor would be great cartridges. They have lower recoil and are inherently accurate, thanks to being short action cartridges. The 6.5 Creed has excellent factory match ammo. It can take deer to 500 and elk to maybe 300~400 range.
