[QUOTE="captdavid, post: 117451, member: 4546"] I'm no expert, but every day I shoot my 308 it 'grows' on me. I'm a big fan of the 30-06, but I don't think there is much difference. 75yrs ago the 30-40 was considered elk medicine, as was the 30-06. Neither was loaded, at that time, as hot as the 308 is today, and we have much better bullets today. There are also Light Mags or High Energy loads. These match most 30-06 loads and in my gun shoot ok if not great, 1.5". This is fine for 400yd shots. There is also the old saying; "Beware the man with one gun..." Also the guide said up to 400yds. Sometimes you just have to pass!! That's what makes us good sportsmen. Of course if it were me I would really like a new CDL in 280! capt david [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]
