[QUOTE="RetiredSniper, post: 1675499, member: 82005"] I have had a 308 for most of my 68 years and still do. Just not the same one. I was weened on the 308 in Army basic training. I love it! I went through about 6 diferant 308s and now have a Howa 1500 Mountain rifle in 308. I worked up a load for the 308 years ago. It shoots accuratly out of all the 308 rifles I have owned. 165gr. SPEER B.T.S.P. #2034. 42.0gr. IMR 4064 CCI #200 Primer. This is the only load I load for 308 because it works so well. The 308 cartridge is slightly shorter than the 30-06. Compaired to the 30-06 the 308 is oly a few hundred F.P.S. slower than the 30-06. The liter 150 and 145 grain bullets are not as accurate. You have a great hunting rifle there my friend. Take good care of it and it will take good care of you!!! [/QUOTE]
