[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 2697011, member: 8873"] Sorry VLD, I meant a 175. I’d go back and correct it but you already called me out on it.😂 My point is that no matter the cartridge, it is the same bullet going the same speed. He was wanting ways to increase performance of a .308. People do these things with all cartridges; increase barrel length, run a longer throat, run the right powders (usually at highest tolerable pressures) with some of the new highest BC bullets (like their BD2), etc. You do this with a .308 and you can get performance of larger cartridges, but only if you aren’t doing the same with the larger. And now you have a capable LR hunting setup in a .308, makes it a whole different animal. Get the right bullet at the right speed and place it where it needs to go, that’s how you get lethality.
