But decided since I'd need new brass and ELD projos, and with 4350 so hard to get I just stuck with my 308 Winchester. Ended up buying a Les Baer Swat Sniper with a NightForce 5-25 Atacr. Still shooting 168grain SMK's that I have a life time supply of and more 308 brass than I'll ever need. Never been sorry about the decision especially since I don't shoot any further than 500 yards.
Thanks gents. I have an Armalite AR-10(T) in 7.62X51 / .308. I like it - it's a good gun - and all the stuff that you mention above about brass, bullets, etc. well... yep... I agree. However, I'm still interested in what I can build that will be faster, flatter, tighter in the AR10 platform. :-)

It's boring on our short course (300-650yds) completely dialed and almost impossible to miss. Such a nice smooth gun. Does well on the long side (800-1200)

Side note....just for science, I put a Franklin Armory binary trigger in my 16" 308 and it runs flawless lol. Good clean fun.
Thanks sir. The .260 rem is currently the leading contender.
