[QUOTE="Stgraves260, post: 509281, member: 19988"] Thank you Camshaft. I was only posting what was told to me from Berger about the 210grn bullet. I have never field tested a 308 with a 210 grain bullet. To me it would be like loading a 243 with a 210grn bullet. It just dont make sense to me. I was lucky enough to shoot an AR10 chambered in 308 with hand loads, but I dont know what the bullet weight was. The gun belonged to a friend of a friend. I dont know anyone personaly who has a 308. But I did run into someone at Cabela's in Ft Worth who was buying some bullets to get ready to shoot at Tac Pro in west Texas. He told me everyone was shooting the 175grn Hornady A Max at 1000yrds. He just had a custom rifle built. I just told him to try the 168grn Berger bullet. I told him that I think he would get better results from it. He called me the other day to thank me and that he was going to use the Bergers 168grn. He said he got much smaller groops. I cant say anything good or bad about the 308.
