This is an observation of the data recorded from nosler book...fifth edition.
It pertains to the 308 Winchester case.........perhaps an imperfect bastardized case.....from the most perfect 300 savage!
I looked at the 243, 260 R.E.M., 7 mm 08, the 308 win and the manly 358 Winchester.
I considered the nosler partition offerings.
I averaged the top published velocities and averaged them. I also ranked sectional density and did an energy comparison.
TOP Velocity was the
260 rem. 100 grain
TOP energy was the
358 Winchester 180 grain
TOP sectional density
200 grain 308
140 grain 260
160 grain7 08
180 308
150 7 08
125 260
165 308 and 140 7 08 a tie at .248
The 100 grain 243 was .242
