One thing I have found with the .308 is that it is very forgiving in terms of loads. You won't get magical half minute with them for the most part but you will get very consistent 3/4 or one minute with about any decent bullet and load.
That doesn't mean you should expect performance from cheap imported ammo. Only that about any load you use with a decent bullet will give you good consistent performance.

I appreciate the insight. it seems like a good multi purpose round to me. I'm pretty new to rifles/hunting and if I can part w/ a SW 686 that was my first handgun, then I'll order the 700 (there are worse dilemmas
). Thanks again for sharing your knowledge.
