> [@Tanning.....](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/tanning/26480/58): > > .300(300 weatherby) is a hunting round really. bit more grain, packs a nasty punch in the 3-600yd range. My dad has two 300’s single bolt action, and a double barrel breach. I’ve shot both of those guns and they’re a hard hit to the shoulder. there is a .300 Rxx cartridge that’s supposed to be good but I’ve never seen nor fired it. Something with different grain count and fast burn powder. > > the .308 is the tried and true sniper round. Typically good for 7-800yds, after that it’ll start falling like a brick. People say it’s accurate to 1000yds but that’s REALLY dependent on the rifle and shooter and at that range inst going to have nearly the punch. If I had my choice though, .308 all the way. rounds can be found EVERYWHERE as it’s a standard NATO round, 7.62x51mm. I’ll go to garage sales and see misc .308 stuff for 50 cents a clip. I have all the crap here to reload .308 as well. Probably have 50lbs of clean brass here in the basement, dad likely has primers and rounds around here as well. 1/2 our rifles here shoot .308 > > You and I think alike in rifles Chris. that SIG is second on my list of small caliber rounds. I’m still looking at a used TAC 50 though :excited Agreed. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/the-official-gun-thread/242496)._
