anytime I use a rifle, its typically out west and shots may be out to 500yds, I know the .308 is a great round, very accurate, I just think I'd rather have a .270 or .30-06, though maybe .308 with lighter bullets can compete, I think i'd rather a 7mm-08 then, for this reason, lighter/faster bullets.

but sure if i was shooting under 200-300 yars for sure, then ya less rifle, I think I like the 7mm08 more than the .308, those bullets just seem big for a .308. to each their own, and ya just figur eout what type of hunting youre going to b edoing and what you want to do with it.
