I belong on eroding granite, among the pines.

Did the work you did for your recent .270 article have anything to do with your choice? I'd have to go with my pre-64 .270, probably with 160 gr. Partitions. Lighter ones would be fine and maybe shoot a little flatter, but those 160s, seated out for my rifle just look like the business. I've had that rifle for over 30 years now and it's never given me a moment's trouble. Everybody oughta have at least one. What fresh Hell is this?

Of course, so do a lot of pretty dedicated hunters and shooters who own many other things, too, but those are the common things in the hands of the "one gun wonders." .308 just isn't seen here very often and when it is, usually it's a tactical rifle, not a sporter, and the people who play that game tend to own a bunch of rifles. Tom Well , yes. Quite the opposite, they are all dedicated hunters. They are just not gun nuts. Here, probably a quarter of the hunting rifles overall are .308's. (Followed by 7mm08 and .270's.) Sensible and deadly describes the 308 Win; a rimless 303 British. The other calibres are fluff. Playtoys. Much like your likeable, but slow cousin. I wonder, to satisfy the math, could one opt for half a calibre, but two bullets? Safe Shooting!

As I shoot gophers to Moose I would use cast 165's at 1300 fps for goph's and book max loads of I-4064 w/165gr partitions on everything else. Or I would choose my HVA FN Lg. ring 7x57 and 160's as above. Muddy

Save for one incident of pure curiosity involving 225 NABs, all the rifle hunting we've done, from antelope to coues to elk, has been done with one 260 or another for quite some time now anyway. Though the 260 killing has involved many flavors of 140s and a few 120s. "Your range of experience runs that gamut from A to B, plus you're a nitwit.
