All things .308 Win

I would do a modified Master Sporter stock

I’m curious - what modifications would you make to the master sporter stock?

Aside from gorilla tape and pool noodles?

Listen here you blasphemer.

Haha. Call Mike.

Shush, he hasn’t cashed my check yet.

Finally acquired, the plan was to re-barrel to a 6mm… but the force is strong with this one..

I’ve been looking in the wrong places apparently

My latest 308 - Springfield Armory Boundary w/ 20" fluted barrel that mic's .735" at the muzzle. With Scope, sling and 4 rounds it weigh's 8lbs 9oz's. A nice compromise between packability and "settledownness" for the shot.

Got it done twice with the 308 this year. 178gr ELDX/ 41.5gr varget, 2480 fps. Going to try some 168s next year.

Those speers wreck deer pretty well also. After I killed a buck with one at almost 200 yards and saw the damage I bought another 500. They arent sexy but they work.

Forever, I've called the Speer Hotcore, The Poor Mans Partition. I think they're that good. The biggest whitetail I ever shot was an old buck that was over 200lbs dressed. Took him with a 150gr HC from a 308. Bullet went in and out both shoulders. I'd not hesitate to use that bullet on elk.

Bullets like the Speer HC, Hornady IL, and Sierra GK are great bullets, especially at modest 308 Win velocities. The 308 is famously easy on bullets. Inside 500 yards, where most game is (and should) be taken, BC is, within reason, more or less irrelevant.

Another 308 kill - 165 Hdy BTSP @ 230 yards. Bullet center punched the big front leg knuckle, penetrated the first lung and was found in the 2nd lung pretty mangled. At the shot there was an enormous "crack" as the bullet impacted the knuckle. The bull dropped in his tracks. That's as big a torture test as you can arrange for a bullet in the field. For a cheap C&C bullet, it worked admirably imo.

Aren't the Speer Hot-Cor bullets used in Federal Power-Shok (blue box) ammunition?
