    .308 Ballistics

    I would never hesitate to use another .308 for hunting. Apart from 5.56 it is a rifle calibre that I have the most experience with.
    I have once helped another soldier fire14,000+ rds of .308 in a day. It still brings a smile to my dial thinking about days like that, engaging targets over 2kms away.
    Shot one in comps overseas and heaps of times here.
    They are ballistic nightmares beyond certain ranges but if you can half way handle one, shooting ballistically better cals are easier.
    They kill universally better in most bullet weights I have used as well.
