[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 515372, member: 2736"] Depending on the bullet and load the 308 should be good for big game from 600 to 800 yards. Look at the downrange velocity and where the bullet drops below 16 or 1700 ft/sec will be about the maximum distance on game. Some think that the Berger's need 18 to 1900 ft/sec to perform on game. After finding out where your velocity drops below around 1800 ft/sec, shoot at the maximum distance and verify that accuracy Is good enough, and that is your maximum effective hunting distance. It doesent matter what Me or anyone else says, your rifle and load will determine the maximum distance you should hunt. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
