Thread: .308 Ballistics

Gimp every one knows the .308 win is the undisputed king of everything!

LOL Can you draw us a ballistic chart for a 6.5?

My graphing software won't go to "forever"


(I did not draw this chart)

Actually If your talking animals you should bring that line back to 600

That's gold

Amusing, pity the graphs not particularly accurate.

i still would not stand at 1000 yard as a target

True. .308 bullets usually don't have faces.

Well spotted gimp, was trying to figure the error.

Extended mag box will make short work of that

Need a long action too.

I'm not sure what I expected when I saw this title - this made me properly LOL

Good Call.

-There may also be an error in the maths: The graph suggests that a .308 projectile with a trajectory 50 inches high at 200yds will make it to 800 yds. I suspect this is an exageration. Perhaps they forgot to put a "x 10 to the power of" on the 50.

Then there's the compressed load .308 graph with the hot burning powder of course. That must have been the factory ammo graph that you found!!
