I found this post on another forum:
The general consensus in their discussion is that the 208gr AMax bullet has better terminal ballistics and bucks wind drift better than lighter bullets. Does anyone have any experience with these bullets in a .308? 2650 sounds awfully fast for a 208gr bullet from a .308.
308 Win
Win brass
208 AMax, moly'd
CCI 200
3.00 OAL
51 gr RL-17
2650 fps.
I intended to go long and check some drops so I bolted on the 16X Super Sniper. Shot two groups to get a 100 yard zero. First was four shots into .65", second was three shots into .65" again.
I then went out to a 1 moa wide white rock at 1320 yards. Dialed 46 moa per Quicktarget. Wind seemed very low and almost 6 oclock so I didn't dial any wind. First round was 1 mil left. I held one mil right, and the second and third shots were hits.
