[QUOTE="slowrunning, post: 1421369, member: 45968"] I've got an AIAT in 308 with a 20" 12 twist barrel. I can shoot 110 VMAX at prairie dogs around 3000 FPS without the barrel heating up too quick and then switch to a 180 grain Berger at about 2550 FPS and ring steel at 1k pretty consistently. Not a 1k yard elk gun but inside 500 yards we're good on just about anything in the lower 48, further for certain game. You're gonna get frustrated shooting a magnum at prairie dogs cause you're gonna cook barrels. No caliber is perfect for everything, but IMO the 308 is hard to beat as a do it all. [/QUOTE]
