And then frankly a heavier 180-200g Partition bullet load in an '06 would be a little more comforting. Me? I'm hunting in CO this year with my RAR .308 this over my '06.. Its a full pound lighter and more accurate. And , I shoot it well. And 155g Scenars at 2,850FPS will do anything I need done to an Elk inside 500 yards if I steer the rifle correctly.
