[QUOTE="NikatKimber, post: 1758678, member: 423"] .223 is used succesfully against .308 at 600yds and even out to 1000yds. Trickier to shoot, maybe, but capable. If you want the ammo commonality, go for it. Unless you get a custom built, or get really taken buying a gun, you likely will lose little if any money if you decide later to move up. And if you do, unless you are wanting to compete in something that requires .308, there are better long range calibers for that too. .243 Win is an excellent all around cartridge, especially in OK. With the right shooter and gun, it can compete (and win) against .308 at any distance, is great for any game in OK, and is lighter recoiling. [/QUOTE]
