greetings all,
I've decided that the next rifle i buy for myself will be a scoped Bolt-gun and i intend to at least occasionally use it in the 600yard prone match that is held at my local club, and in which scoped guns are allowed and seemignly common.
i have decided which rifle i plan to get (Savage 10FP) but not which caliber to get it in. I HAVE narrowed it down to .223 or .308. but do not know which is a better round for use at 600. the rifles in question have 1in9 (223) and 1in10 (308) twists respectively. and i know that twist rate comes into play at least with the .223 (i want to have at least a decent chance of not key holing half my shots)
any and all info/advice on this choice is welcome.
thank you for your time.
