[QUOTE="L Smith, post: 1612203, member: 108626"] I built myself a 308 'brush' rifle, 20" barrel, open sights only just for 100ish or less yards. Using Hornady 180 gr RN's at 2586 fps. It has been completely effective on any of the critters that have been hit with it. I know the 180 gr may be considered a bit heavy, but I have but I get decent expansion at the closer ranges. Just practice with it as much as possible. I almost always shoot off-hand, not too many opportunities for bench resting in heavy thicket. and most shots are snap, gotta sight and pull quick. [/QUOTE]
