Actually you said:Personally I don't think 2800 with a 200-grain is out of line with a 24" barreled .30-06.

But then again who cares,I sure don't.I don't use the 200 grain in my '06 and if I thought I needed a 200 grain in .308,I would use my 300 Win Mag,but I don't,the 180 has done everything I have ever asked of it.
