Dude, what planet are you from?We all know that it is, so no need to get into that part. But what specifically is it about the .308 that makes it so awesome? Is it magic? Because when I shoot my .308, it feels like magic.

I don't know what sort of blasphemy this is, but I do not like it one bit.The .308 is a compromise. Given proper incubation time, it would have finished growing it would've become a 7.5x55 Swiss, truly the greatest cartridge ever devised. Alas, not everyone can operate a bolt of that length, I digress...
I shoot 55gr bullets in service rifle for a full year. When I went back to the heavy stuff...
Planet Palma I would guess!Dude, what planet are you from?![]()
What group size can I expect from a Savage 10 (308) 1:12 twist bull barrel
At 600 yards?
And they LET you come back when you said you promised to shoot heavies?
No. Having something that shoots great in the wind allows a person to make mistakes in wind calls. It is more fun when starting out to keep them into a smaller area of the black.
If you really want to get good with wind you must shoot in it and if possible shoot something that will make you really work for poor scores due to wind deflection. I shoot 55gr bullets in service rifle for a full year. When I went back to the heavy stuff it was like cheating.
It's all relative. Try shooting a 45-90 pushing a 540 grain cast bullet with a case full of Black Powder at a staggering 1300 fps (the original Palma rifle!) from the 1000 yard line. Makes the 155's @ 3000 from a 308 seem pretty darn slippery in the wind.

... the person asking it must either have his tongue firmly in his cheek, or was a troll looking to stir things up for the fun of it.
Not that this wasn’t already settled, but how much more proof do we need?From the results I have seen so far, a 308 shot off a bipod has posted the top over-all score of the weekend at the Sierra Cup F-class shoot.

Yes but don’t expect ME to pull & mark your target! Inbound trajectory’s about 60°.
When they used those for Palma the targets - and scoring rings - were square for a good reason.
