WF,
220 grains is a heavy bullet to push from a case with limited capacity.
If you're defining long range as 800-900-1000 yards the 220 grain is going to be ill suited when fired from the 308.
At unknown distances your range estimation skills will really be tested, as the bullet falls pretty much on the vertical that far out.
Two very good weights for the 308 at 800-1000 yards are the 155 palma and the 175 matchking. Skip the 168 grain from Sierra, it's designed for 300 meter ISU shooting and sheds velocity real real real fast past 800 yards.
If you try either of the above bullets, repeat after me.........VARGET......Varget.......Varget.
Good luck
