In another post FROGGY made the following comment about upgrading a .308 :

Decent glass good rest and bag and maybe a 223 to start,but I saw you are military so a 308 may be already in your favor so just shoot it,reload for it,find the load it likes and load,load,load then shoot,shoot,shoot.

In addition to by MKII BSEV .22LR target rifle I have a .44 magnum lever and .30-30 lever. I want to go up to a good longer range bolt action target rifle and considering the .223 and .308 calibers. I really like the 12 BTCSS (.223 only) and the 12 BVSS (available in .223 or .308).

Currently limited to 250 meters in outdoor range and 100 meters indoors. Strictly target shooting - I am not a hunter. I know .223 is easier to shoot but short of buying another gun later in the other caliber what is the best way to go if this was going to be the LAST GUN EVER BOUGHT . . . . . Pros and cons on the best caliber.
