With the right barrel twist rate, 175 grain bullets can be used, which have great BC for long range shooting. If ya like recoil, go for it. If you don't, and don't plan to reach out to beyond 1000 yards, a 308 Win should be more than adequate.
Shooting mine became tolerable only after I replaced the standard hard rubber recoil pad with a modern soft one.
