    2 inches high at 100 should put you on at 200-220 and 6-8 inches low at 300,
    3 inches high at 100 gives you point and shoot on the shoulder from zero to 300 with no thinking about drops/trajectory with a 150gr.
    Have you tried the 208 amax ?

    I might shorten and suppress a t3 after reaming it to 300 saum just for the 208 amax.

    No, in the short actions I have had it takes up too much room in the case,could be good in a long action like the T3 seated out.
    Greg got some reasonably good numbers with the 208 recently but I forget the details.
    "Hunting and fishing" fucking over licenced firearms owners since ages ago.

    308Win One chambering to rule them all.
