If you run the improved .308 case at high pressures, the primer pockets are too loose after about 3 firings. If you run light bullets in a 9.3, they don't have enough sectional density for anything large. And the more you "improve" the .308 case, the more you stuff-up its good feeding.

So... in your opinion...

Throwing a 175 grain bullet with a poor SD at 2,900 FPS... using a fast powder such as AA 1680... is not a reasonable proposition?


If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.
