[QUOTE="benchracer, post: 717097, member: 22069"] Unless you intend to use monometal bullets, I don't think speed is the answer to the set of problems that you have defined. I believe that sectional density, higher bc, and moderate velocity is the answer to your problem set. I would be looking at 6.5 or 7mm chamberings in the 7x57/7-08 or 6.5x55/.260 class. Both offer bullets with better bc's and greater sectional density than the .308. Both will also fly flatter and reciol less than the .308. The 7's will offer greater flexibility in bullet weight than the 6.5's. With either the 6.5 or 7's, you may find that premium bullets are not necessary. Both also retain the option of going with bonded bullets in the optimum weight ranges for each caliber/chambering. [/QUOTE]
