[QUOTE="Wachsmann, post: 2696907, member: 10429"] I think one of the big things I see from this conversation is let’s put the best of the best a 308 can do and put mediocre for an 06. Not comparing apples to apples. More like apples to pairs. Just not sure the same comparison. But… I have been trying to do just what the original posts has been stated. I have been trying to get the heaviest bullet I can shoot out of a standard mag length 308 and see how fast I can get it going for the exact same reason. Shoot large game at long range than what thought of with still acceptable accuracy, enough velocity and energy. I set the goal at 1000 yards for deer and 800 to 900 for elk. I have not been able to get these things to come together for a good consistent load. I been trying 212ELDX and CF223, varget, imr4895, and something I’m leaving out powder wise. But fastest was like 2520 compressed load and some pressure signs. Temps went up and really quick I got hard bolt lift. Also this is a 1/10 twist 26inch barrel. Personally I wish I would have gotten the 06 to do this with. The extra case capacity would make this a little more practical. [/QUOTE]
