What is you longest kill with the 308win?

[ICANHITHIMMAN]

If you hunt with the 308 win I would love to here your sucess stories at long range.

I have only taken one animal with the 308 win it was a white tailed doe at 200 yds with a 175g SMK. I know there has to be some one who can beat that?

We killed praire dogs with a factory mod. 70 stealth with a NF 12-42 at 1000-1340 yds. This was 2 years ago in South Dakota.

Took a lope at 505 last year,was looking for a 600 yard shot for the VTR but limited visabilty made the shots hard to come by.

763 yard dall sheep 9-1-02. 168 SMK 2660 FPS. One shot fired, one dead ram. That is also my longest kill period.

The next year on opening day I set up my rig for a ram at 600 even for my buddy. Another ram down. Later that season I bagged mine at 425 (more than one shot).

In 06 I took 3 wolves at 360 yards. Not long range but getting out there for a small target.

In 07 I dropped a bull moose in his tracks at 438. One shot, flop.

Those are my longest kills with the 308 winnie.

Thats great guys I love my 308 win I just never here stories about guys taking game with them in here. I know its not the best long range hunting round but it works.

Hears another question what is you bullet choice for the 308 win?

I shot my doe with an SMK only beacuse its what I had loaded at the time but I have a lot of Bergers and AMAX bullets as well.

I shot a 5x5 elk @ 40 yrds using a 300 mag using the amax .I also have taken two 8 pointers and 1 muley with the 155grain amax . Now I have a 300rum and I shoot the 208 amax when you run them over 3000 fps they explode like little bombs I know they don't retain their weight but just ask the deer on my wall they are all firm believers in AMAX BULLETS LOL
