Allright, time for another wild idea.
I've read that the .308 can push 180 grain bullets almost as fast as the 30-06. The question is, is a 180 grain .308 @ 2700 fps suited to sniping?
Here's the rest of the wild idea:
Load: 180 grain .308 Barnes TSXBT bullet @ 2700 fps out of a 26 inch barrel.
Scope: Leupold 3.5-10x M3 with 30-06 BDC ([email protected]) mounted.
Additional: Loaded round's OAL must fit inside a short action magazine box.
Bear in mind that these are conjecture at the moment to help me decide on specs for a rifle. Lets hear your thoughts on all the aspects; using that BDC, maximum effective range, any additional thoughts, etc.
Thanks
