Someone said they use the .308 under 200 yards, and a .270 for anything past that. I hope people don't take that the wrong way and think the .308 isn't an excellent long range performer, it would be a mistake to think that.

They are almost identical in down range energy and have about the same B.C. with most ammo. The .308 gets you more versatility because you can load it with slightly heavier bullets depending on the hunt.

Im still waiting to nab a whitetail at 600 yards and beyond, Ive gotten several around 500 with the .308 and I couldnt be happier with its performance. The Sciroccos and Accubonds at that yardage are great.

If its a planned long range elk or moose hunt, the .308 gets put away and the .300rum comes out Its a wonderful elk killer at 800 yards and further.

Oh and this be my first post, how did this little community slip past me?
