Default RE: Marlin 308 Express

I am not too familiar with reading ballistics info just yet and determining what it can do. gonna try to start reloading for my .44 this year though but I was wondering from those who are experts with ballistics or think they are: what could be the maximum effective range of such a round. I know some people say my .35Rem Marlin is a 150 yard gun...to me I wouldn't pass a 200-250 yard shot. Maybe even more if I was practiced at that distance. Like the little .223 most people think of a short range bee sting which can be accurate 600+ yards. Do you think the new cartridge might have potential without stupid ammounts of drop at 600+. Could it shoot long range wise against a 308?
