[QUOTE="Dean2, post: 1897897, member: 26077"] If you can get it to shoot an inch or better I would have no concerns using the 130 at 2500-2700 fps out to 400 or 500 yards, which should be plenty for Michigan's typical shooting distances. Farthest I shot an Elk with the 308 and the 130 TSX was about 650, and the bullet passed clean through at 3100 fps. Shot was perfect, right behind the shoulder and the Elk took 2 steps and dropped. The Elk I shot last year was with a 150 Grain Hornady Spire Point Interlock at about 2950 fps out of the 308. Three hundred yards exactly, again right behind the shoulder, never took a step, dropped where it stood and the bullet was a pass through as well.. The 300 Savage and the 308 are very comparable rounds, except for 2-300 fps there is not much difference. Best of luck on the hunt. I always enjoy shooting guns my dad or Granddad had. Makes the hunt just that much more special [/QUOTE]
