[QUOTE="Steve Douglass, post: 56153, member: 2879"] Greenhorn, I live in Southern Cal. and I own both calibers, but the -06 sits alot. I use the .308 for most of my paper punching and black-tail, mule, and Black Bear hunting. The -06 is a little over kill here and does punch the shoulder more than the .308. I reload alot of handgun, but have not ventured into long gun reloading yet. The Federal Gold Metal Match BTHP is the most accurate factory load for .308 I've ever found. Depending on the rifle manufacturer, you can get exceptional groups out to 600yds with enough energy to take something down. If you want to punch paper out to 1000 the .308 is also good, but if you really want to bring game down at distances past 600 you may want to go with a larger caliber, -06, .300WM, or .300WSM. -------------------------------------------- Experience the best, Judge the rest!!
