[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 812211, member: 12995"] Machinist....Long time no see. How you been? Did you ever get those Rem 700 titanium bolts underway? :) Yes, most threat response units use the .308 Winchester as their sniper caliber of choice. Some use a .300 WinMag. I love my .308 Win. It's the most fun caliber I have to shoot, other than the rimfires (.22LR and .17HMR). You can shoot a well-built heavy-barreled .308 all day and not be sore from the recoil the next day. Plus, experimenting with that caliber and different loads is tons of fun. Powder consumption is minimal, and I can load twice number of loads per # of powder, as I can with my big belted magnums. My largest load for my .308 uses 44.0gr of Varget, and most of my belted mags use 65-85gr of powder. Plus, the .308 is a very forgiving load when you first start reloading. It will shoot good seated at SAAMI spec, or touching the lands, or with a little jump inbetween. [/QUOTE]
