[QUOTE="Orion2010, post: 1102005, member: 51656"] I ve been at this a long time , custom calibers etc. Everybody got an opinion and it makes it fun to discuss. Heres my 2 cents 1. No one caliber is better than the other bullet diameter and case capacity = Velocity Its not hard it simple physics . The short fat cases are a little more accurate but accuracy is a big word 100 yds no wind or 900-1000 not sure angle wind etc need speed period. 2. Bullet selection is more about the velocity at the target point . All the premium bullets are good but a 300 BLKout at 200 yds cant open up only a lite hole . Barnes works well at the unknown as Berger both have a large window to open. 3. BC of a bullet not as bog as factor as people make it . More velocity fixes this as well as wind etc. Speed kills . 4. Magic happens over 3000 fps and after 3800 not as much. 5. What's intended use? Paper , 308 win is awesome , not a hunting gun 338-378 weatherby or 378 weatherby kills reload and match bullet to speed and animal. 6. Case and powder , reloading manuals are starting points not bibles. Your rifle is one of a kind . bbl length , chamber , crimp . Max out the case capacity with the powder . Meaning match the burn rate to get to that magical area for bullet weight and your gun 's unique character. This will give you the max vel. and accuracy 90% of the time. Same as velocity its simple physics , stop reading marketing crap. 7. Range time dail in data , chrony time and go to the open areas and shoot unknown distances 400yd plus and e what you can do without sand bags and an umbrella . Real world shooting . [/QUOTE]
