I was shooting 32 grain bullets at 3900fps and 300 yards was a piece of cake. 307 yards was the farthest shot I had to take with it. I also decided to take a custom LRI .308 with me as I've never had a chance to really stretch it out. Got to shoot steel at 500 with it and it was a lot of fun. Also shot a few dogs with it but that was a bit overall. My other 3 buddies all took .22-250's. We were shooting factory loaded 45 grain stuff and it was performing very well out to 300 no issues. I think the first 10 shots, 9 were hits from 150-300 yards. We also tinkered around with a .17hmr.

[QUOTE="psdan000, post: 2239802, member: 14206"] Appreciate all the input on this thread! Our trip is complete. I ended up taking 3 rifles.

My personal main rifle of choice was a Remmy 700 VLS in .204. It performed great out there. I was shooting 32 grain bullets at 3900fps and 300 yards was a piece of cake. 307 yards was the farthest shot I had to take with it. I also decided to take a custom LRI .308 with me as I've never had a chance to really stretch it out. Got to shoot steel at 500 with it and it was a lot of fun. Also shot a few dogs with it but that was a bit overall. My other 3 buddies all took .22-250's. We were shooting factory loaded 45 grain stuff and it was performing very well out to 300 no issues. I think the first 10 shots, 9 were hits from 150-300 yards. We also tinkered around with a .17hmr.
