[QUOTE="Michael Eichele, post: 784438, member: 1007"] If you're stuck on Berger I'd start with the 190 VLD and move up to the 210. Running VV N550 and the 208 amax I'm getting 2600'sec with sub 1/4 MOA out of 2 different 308s. One 24"-12x and one 26"-11x. I get 2500 from the 24" and 2600 from the 26" barrel. I don't see much difference between the 208 and 210. The only reason I prefer the 208 is that they expand at lower velocities. The high BCs of the 190 VLD to the 210s makes the 308 a formidable rifle for up to and beyond 1000 yards for paper. I have yet to shoot the 208 to a grand but having shot the 190 SMKs to a grand in VERY cold low level dense air with outstanding success, I can imagine what the 208 would do in warm air at or beyond 1K. Heck their only 64'sec slower than my old 190 load. At dall sheep altitude and temps it works out to 1150 pounds of energy and 58" of 10mph wind at 1K. I don't care what other shooters say, that is a legitimate 1K deer, sheep, antelope and caribou rifle/load combo. [/QUOTE]
