I could see a club rules FTR weight, bipod etc but more cartridges allowed match.
i don`t make the rules there, i just shoot there,nice group of shooters . its also kinda fun to try different cartridges other times there at 600 yards too
Just returned from a cow elk hunt east of Roundup MT. Used my Mauser M-18 in 6.5 PRC and 143 grain factory loads to kill big old cow elk at 240 yards. One of the five guys in camp had a 6.5 Creedmoor that had accounted for six one shot kills on bull elk, mule deer and black bear in the last two years using the same factory load I used. No flies on that round for people who can shoot. Those six one shot kills were within 300 yards.
Yeah, the same outfit that replaced the 1911 with the M9 and the Model 70 with the 700......All in the name of 'less recoil". Frankly, any discussion of "recoil" when discussing the 308, is laughable. Hey, if you like the cartridge then good for you, but just don't try to tell me that it's "better" than what i use. Yean I know people keep telling me they hunt big game with a 223, 22-250, 243, etc and they are really no difference between them and a 300 Mag or even a 308 given proper or equal shot placement, but sorry, I'm not buying...

You've obviously never spent any time with a sub 6lb 308...
As compared to what, a 8 lb 458 Lott, a 10.5 lb 450NE or even a 7.5 340 Weatherby or a 375? But I have shot a Savage 110 ultralight t and found recoil to be a non-issue

Branded? My haircut is high and tight, no man bun here.
I hardly have enough hair left to keep my hat from sliding around on my head..........getting too old to care what others think anyway. I just know what works.

So apparently it's ok for you to reply with an obvious jab and not ok for me. but I forgot what an A sshole you are and being you consider the 308's recoil as a recoil , you're a pussy to boot.

A very good (in my opinion) video on the 6.5 Creedmoor. I've sait this before, arguably the best cartridge design in 100 years, but I still don't see a spot for it in my gun selection.

I don't care who you are that right there is funny!
Shew me thy ways, O LORD: teach me thy paths. "there are few better cartridges on Earth than the 7 x 57mm Mauser" "the .30 Springfield is light, accurate, penetrating, and has surprising stopping power"
DF that's a great report on the M18, and MOA from factory ammo in a factory rifle can do a lot of work!
JWP, long ago someone had a 308 Mohawk at the range, it sounded like a Cannon and I had no interest in trying it out.
Loved the 243 and 222 I once owned............a CM would be well suited in a carbine sized rifle, deadly and handy.
I chopped a '96 Swede I once had that sporterized to 21" and it did very well........I recall 4350 Loads running 2800 range with 120s........did just fine.
