220 gr SMK 308 Load

[RC20]

Good question. I have no idea, but I'd tend to think a lighter faster bullet would cause more issues with erosion (I'm thinking of my .204 and 22-250). Maybe I'm wrong.

At the end of the day I built mine to eat 208's and if it lasts 5k or 10k rounds really makes no difference, I'll be happy either way .

I think a lot of people would be very surprised with the ballistic numbers of a .308 with 208's, the numbers are rather surprising. Sure it's no 300 Win Mag, but it's just a nice enjoyable round to shoot

This is not a slam, I have really enjoyed the 308, but I was supervised at its lack of versatility in regard to powders and loads.

Maybe more so with R17 now.

For all the taughted Ackly Improved stuff, you can get a 30-06 to do some amazing things with that powder (and 308 no slouch either).

If I was doing the real long range I would think you could do better with the 30-06 and R17 not, but that may be just me.
