.308 Winchester running 165's.308's are usually goofy accurate. I really like 165's or 150's but you can run 130's up to the 208's and break shoulders on any deer or elk if needed. Recoil won't send you to the physical therapist. Ammo is found anywhere. Brass is easy to come by. They feed like a fat boy at a buffet. Whats not to love Not a thing mo need be said... Dober Not like you Dober....You know you wanted to say 150 hornady interlock and go fill some arks....
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

Actually lapua makes 6.5-284 brass that is so good people have been necking it up to use in their 284
Okay - I don't feel there is any ? about lapua quality. If brass cost is acceptable, the 6.5-284 would be a GREAT round. *** IMO the 308 W is limited in powder capacity for the bullet dia. There is less velocity (speed).

Hey Brad - It's been so long since I even held a G & A I can't remember. I've had 308 and had/have an Oehler 33. Can anyone deny the 284 W capacity is greater than a 308 W? Seat a 7mm - 140 OR 150 and compare PLUS the SD & BC are better. YMMV Jerry

260 Rem, 7mm-08, 308 Win, all will do what you want and more if you ever decide to stretch them out.
Enough already, just shoot it!

Yup, my mileage varies because I've actually killed coyotes, antelope, mule deer, and elk out to just over 400 yards with the 308.

I didn't say the 308 could not do it. I just like the 284W and 7mm bullets better.

.243, .25-06, or .260 Then again, I only have experience with our puny AB deer... I would think that you have to seat those bullets pretty deep for a short action 25-06. I think an accurate Model 7 in 260 or 7mm-08 would be a fine choice for the OP.

He was a very looooong 22 yards, but he came from about 400 looking for the lonely horny cow mewing in the bushes. Then he got a free ride from Montrose, CO to my freezer.

Is the 284 a short action or just a shorter cartridge in a "long action"??? Sounds intresting.
