[QUOTE="Wind Dancer, post: 60629, member: 3615"] Want to thank you gents for the input. Have some 180 gr. Accubonds ordered. I see that you're (goodgrouper) a .300 WM shooter. I love that cartridge but the recoil gives me a headache after about 100 rounds or so, which I used to do frequently. That was from a Ruger 77 that I bedded well and did a little extra work on. It shot 3/4" groups real consistently with 180 and 200 grainers, and capable of lot smaller groups occasionally. On the other hand, I find the .308 an absolute pleasure to shoot, but of course I loose a bunch of velocity with 180 gr. loads, and that's why I'm tryin to wring out everything I can from the .308. Would love to get into some hunting over 600 yards but am not sure how far out I can make the .308 penetrate shoulders. Thought about going to a heavier gun and back to a .300 WM but I'm gettin too old to lug around a really heavy gun. If anyone else out there has any other thoughts, I'd love to hear them.
