The .308 and .338 calibers are incredibly versatile. Both utilize a 1-10 twist with the .308 caliber pushing 110 gr - 230 gr loads. While the .338 caliber will push 165 gr - 275 gr loads. That’s a great deal of versatility. That’s why the .308s and .338s are still so popular in North America as well as Africa. Each caliber covers several hunting needs with one off-the-shelf rifle utilizing one twist rate on multiple projectile weights for use on big or small game up close and far away.
Yeh, and you can get more out of your .308 if your action can accommodate a 3" magazine box. For example, I'm getting over 2900 fps with the 150 E-tips and over 2700 fps with the 180's with a long throat, a bit more powder and a 3" long magazine box and seating long with a 22" tube.
