[QUOTE="Michael Eichele, post: 284284, member: 1007"] This post is very well put and illustrates why I have been such a 308 fan all these years. Where the 308 lacks in horsepower, it makes up for in accuracy, consistency, low recoil, long barrel life and ease of tuning. It certainly is NOT a very "sexy" round but from a long range shooting standpoint and everything that goes into LR shooting, she is a very practical round. It is definately one of the most overlooked and underrated calibers on the LR scene. Choosing the right bullet for the job may be more critical than with a big boomer as a 308 has less starting velocity and doenst deliver as much remaining velocity so a bullet that will expand at lower velocities are a must for using this round as a long range hunter. This is what is nice about the ACCUBOND and ballistic tip. Very close POI's and you can use one for closer shots and another for farther shots. Throw in the AMAX for even longer shots, keep em in the ribs and youre in buisness. The 190's have been a long time favoraite of mine in the 308. The BERGER 190 VLD with a .570 BC at 2715 FPS is a formidable LR big game smitter. [/QUOTE]
