    A 150gr powershok has a BC of .313. What's your MV? There's a good chance it's worse than a good .223 load at 400m


    Like if it's doing 1500fps at 400m there's a good chance you're basically bow hunting

    Did you read in another thread someone mentioned 223 users were a bit like vegans?
    Overkill is still dead.

    You're right, win PowerPoint. 308 150gr is bloody anemic in my rifle - on the packet drop at 100 and 200 but rolling along the range floor at 275m. It's at 50 and 150 that the truth comes out, just lucky chance that the rainbow lines up at 200 and 100m. I reckon its a good 10% or more down on go for some reason judging from how far out the drops are! Not hard for .308 to be crappier than .223.
