    Why would you use a 200 grn plus projectile in a 308 anyway?

    Like using 75/80 in a 223 "Y"
    Real guns start with the number 3 or bigger and make two holes, one in and one out

    You beat my by a nanosecond ha ha
    1:10 is a fast twist for a 308W at any rate and will stabilise the 200 grainers (as per Berger calc) but yeah, why bother.
