[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 503184, member: 5302"] Most folks shoot a .308 Win. more accurate at long range than 30 caliber magnums. Those big guns recoil too much while the bullet's goin' down the barrel. Such thinking's good to do when wanting to hit something way out there with your first shot. That's after perfectly doping range, wind and atmospheric conditions that easily can cause a 4 MOA miss distance. And if you get a super accurate barrel, a .308 Win. will last 2000 rounds for best long range accuracy, about 1000 rounds for a .300 Win. Mag. and about 600 rounds for a 7mm STW. Way overbore cartridges (those burning more powder than 1 grain for each square millimeter of the bore's cross sectional area) burn out the most accurate barrels very fast. If you want more barrel life, start out with a less accurate barrel or burn less powder. [/QUOTE]
