Anyone have any experience with .308 BAER?

Im sure most have heard of it. Basically a .300 Wby Imp/.300 Ack Mag/.300 AMU. All of them full length improved .300 H&Hs. Used to and still do dominate the 1000yd BR comps for the most part. 6mmbr has a great article on it. Though I wish they would delve deeper into the pre-Krag blackpowder metallic match cartridges used, ie .44-70, .44-90, .45-70, .45-90, .45-100, .45-110, .45-120, .50-90, etc. Otherwise a must read:

Competition Cartridges

Are you planning on competing in BR?
 
I had a 308 Baer benchrest competition rifle, and made a hunting rifle with the same reamer so I could use my old match brass for hunting. I have shot a lot of game with it and really like the round.

As noted, there are many versions of the 300 Wby improved case. I did a lot of research over 10 years ago, and the 308 Baer seemed to be the best design out there.
