.300 Winchester Mag makes nice holes.

Of course the ultimate is still the 50 cals.

I think they said the .308 was the standard round. But yea, they've got it chambered in a bunch of calibers. Mine is .243.

I shot a .243 for the first time a few weeks ago. VERY light recoiling round, I see why it's so popular.

Here are the two I am much more interested in, the Mk 11 and 12 (I like semi-autos):

SR-25

Yeah, .308 is cool but the .300 has an additional reach of 400 yards.

the .300 still has the advantage in velocity and energy at 500 yards according to those charts.

Barrel started out as a Shilen #7 stainless blank in .308/10 that I turned the O.D. taper down a bit, cut to 24", cut a recessed muzzle crown and chambered to fit Federal Match. Free floated the whole thing in aluminum pillars into a McMillian A3 stock with Marine Tex. It was one sweet shooter. I miss having time to mess around with stuff like that. Someday I'll have a house big enough for a machine shop in the garage

I mean, that's *the* gun. I found this last night. Pretty pricey stuff. Prices I found on that scope are ~1k.
