So, most of my shooting is done at 2 matches... and then practicing for those matches.
match 1: 50-500 yards.
match 2: 400-1015 yards
I’ve used a 223, grendel and my 6.5 bolt gun at match one.. all we’re fine. The semi auto 223 was beast, except when gusts of wind came through. Also did well with my 6.5
Match 2, strictly my 6.5 bolt gun.
ive been wanting a 308 for match 1, more energy than the 223 And still very cheap to load for. I have 600 pieces of brass, 200-250 168gr bullets, 8# of H4895.... But I’m feeling like since I have the 223 and the 6.5, the 308 is kind of left without a home.
my friend, whom is a smith, has a 308 long action he built, said he would sell it to me for $700. In a stockys stock, trued action, shilen barrel. Less than 500 rounds fired. Has some kind of switch lug on the barrel, expensive ass bottom metal (don’t recall brand)
he wants $700 for me.... ugh!
Do I buy the rifle and go 7 saum and scrap the 308 idea... or what?
