[QUOTE="R. Cram, post: 3089963, member: 116633"] I'm sure there are other loads but 41.5 gr 4895 and a 168 always worked in an M1-A and if it doesn't work well in a bolt gun there is something wrong with the rifle. I think for anyone who wants to learn to shoot long range the 308 might be the best choice as you should get 5000 rnds out of a barrel and very easy to tune so you don't have to waste brrl life and time getting a load, lots of cartridges will eat a brrl in 1000 rnds which is only maybe 12 matches or so ,so way sooner than you want a new brrl could be needed. The brrl's can often still shoot well up close when the get worn but at longer range they start throwing flyers badly. [/QUOTE]
