Folks
I have a few older 308s that don’t get much attention these days. Bored like most and trying to figure out the best “bang” for the buck to switch these to something new. Focusing now on a Savage Action. Can upgrade bolt face cheaply it appears to magnum. Do I load 6.5 PRC, 6.5 SAUM, or 7 WSM?
For reference I have a 6.5 Grendel and Creedmoor, and some other 308s. Also have a Rem 700 that I’ll be upgrading too but way more expensive to convert to magnum (Thinking 6 Creed for it).
Will likely use savage prefit (PR, Carbon 6, etc) barrel. Looking for 3100+ FPS with ~.65BC bullets 22-24” barrel. I handload but prefer something with decent brass availability without having to resize.
Use will be LR plinking and some hunting likely. Never used voting feature before....curious how it works.
Appreciate the help.
