[QUOTE="chris matthews, post: 8372, member: 66"] HH, I can probably answer for Ric: The 308 has better performance at the receiving end. High BC and speed don't make up for mass. The 175 out of a 308 has better terminal performance than a 142 out of a 260 or even a 6.5-284. The 6.5 are great for punching paper, the 308 for punching game. Sometimes what looks good on paper (ie ballistic programs) just ain't so in the real world. Old Fart, The 308 is one of those cartridges that you gain very little by Ackley Improving it, so it's really not worth doing. [ 12-18-2003: Message edited by: chris matthews ] [/QUOTE]
