[QUOTE="Hugnot, post: 2620705, member: 115658"] In machine guns like the M60. Satisfactory performance in NRA match shooting with 168 grain bullets. Barrel life between 1500 - 2000 before 600 yard scores decline. Lots of cheap once fired brass. Reliable game killer 300 yards plus. Close to same performance as .30-06 with 150 grain bullets. Easy load development. I have a flyweight 20-inch barrel .308 that I use at 300 with 125 grain bullets with whatever powder is left over from loading .223, .204R, & .20 P ammo. [/QUOTE]
