[QUOTE="amcardon, post: 3947105, member: 26766"] I shot a class at Fouled Bore with a 308 using 175gn Fed GMM ammo and had multiple impacts at 1350. Is 6mm or 6.5mm creedmoor easier to have impacts at long range? Sure. Their ability to shoot higher BC bullets makes a big difference when it comes to wind (which will always be an issue here in Oklahoma) and less recoil than 308 definitely make them better target options. Still, I could usually see my misses and correct on the follow up shot with the 308. You need accurate muzzle velocity of your load to build a proper ballistic chart, and to true your dope at distance. What brake/muzzle device are you using? That also makes a huge difference. Guns are tools. If you like the RPR platform but really want to switch calibers, have a new barrel installed and keep using your chassis and trigger. If you're going to switch to a different platform, well, figure out your budget first before you pick which route to take 😂. Good luck, man! [/QUOTE]
