PS - I hunted with a .308 this year. Rifle was for my kids but I fell in love with the thing during load development. I still like the 7mm-08 and 6.5 Creedmoor, but with 16" barrel and can the .308 was hard to resist. It hammers with 150 handloads, and doesn't give up much to the others if running shorter barrels on each for extended ranges.
