[QUOTE="Montana'eer, post: 2629542, member: 113417"] I don't have a love affair with the cartridge itself, but I do appreciate the package I do have- a 20" Rem 5R. It was stupid simple to work up a 168 match load, and the same load pushes 165 Game Kings almost identically. It's a perfect steel banger at 600yds and a 300-400 yard deer gun. Plus it is awesome to carry with me when I go hunting with my older friend. My 26" barrel 7mm mag is a PITA to carry in his RAZR. The 20" barrel on the 5R? Perfect! It's a great truck/Razr rifle, useful if presented with an opportunity while beating down ranch roads or oil/gas ROW's. I can keep my 7mm-mag in the carrier while travelling and have a handy quick handling .308 in the cab. Works for me!! PS my older friend saw how much easier it was to carry a shorter barrel .308 in the cab, so he just had built an AR-10 for the same purpose- .308 [/QUOTE]
