[QUOTE="FatBoy..., post: 21602, member: 349"] Darryl, I haven't tried anything lighter than 168, but if the 168's and 175's will perform, I don't figure I'll have to go lighter, as I prefer a heavy bullet. My 175 load will easily shoot .6 moa out to 600yards. I'd say that would get the job done if I was hunting in range type conditions. If I limity myself to 400yards or less, I should have no problem with shot placement and penetration, but conditions will dictate as I'm just starting again and will work my way out. I've considered trying the 155 palmas for some range work, but the 175's track my scopes BDC perfectly, and I haven't felt the need to mess with getting new come-ups and remarking my turrets for a hunt yet. The 1:12 twist is a factory tube. When I re-barrel it'll go to a 1:10. I'm considering having a 308 built, and keep it pretty much as George Gardners "Rock" rifle. It would have to be easier to walk through the woods with than that 26" tube. Some of you guys must sling load your gear in.. I can't imagine walking in with a #8 30" tube, but I'd welcome the weight while touching off better than 75gr of powder under a 300gr bullet. My hats off to ya gentlemen... FatBoy...
