[QUOTE="LVJ76, post: 2621007, member: 108965"] The 308 Win is so bad that several cartridges were developed based on it's case.. (being sarcastic) 7mm-08, 260 Rem and 243 Win, all great cartridges. The 7mm-08 is provably the best of all 4, better ballistics and reaches further than the 308. Followed closely by the 260. The 08 beat is due to being able to use heavier bullets, they carry more energy. The 243 is great for deer, but has no chance on elk compared to the other 3. Still the 308 does what these cartridges do and in some cases it does it better. And like [USER=63925]@Muddyboots[/USER] mentioned, it still beats the all wonderful T-Rex killer 6.5 CM. This wave of newer cartridges with less recoil is just ridiculous. I get the purpose of long range shooting and I agree, you can spot your shots better, better barrel life in some, etc. But they are not ideal for hunting. Anyways, enough rambling, it's still a great all around cartridge. [/QUOTE]
