Let's hope no one mentions how well many guys are doing with the .223 at 1K. Wouldn't want to upset some of you guys.... </div></div>
Done that too! if a .223 can do it, a .308 can do it better. </div></div>
What's "better"? Less recoil? cheaper? More "fun"?
Shit, .300WM is "better" than the .308 for 1k
.223/.308 are almost equal in RL when shot with similar BC projectiles and without the stupid pressures some guys push.
.308 does have a greater range of high BC projectiles but if you are limited like in F class then you don't gain much on the .308. A bit less windage.
What .223 loads were you using? What .308's?
I know a lot of the guys who have "issues" with the .223 at 1K KNOW it's no good so that's how they end up shooting it or they pick rubbish loads.
I get a lot more shooting done with my .223's per $ than with my .308's. </div></div>
I was agreeing with you john, I love shooting my .223 at 1k, its cheaper, and if conditions are right I have no problem keeping up with my .308. What I meant was; if people regularly shoot .223's to 1k, surely a .308 is a more than capable round for the same distance. The above discussion was about the .308s usefulness at 1000 yds. I believe its a fine 1k cartridge, as is the .223 under the right conditions.
