[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1196751, member: 10291"] I began my long range hunting with the 308 and 30-06 and consider them comparable as far as effectiveness on game. For deer sized game I kept my shots under 600 yards and used 165 gr SST's and Ballistic Tips, both giving good expansion at this max range. I loaded at 2800FPS. I ended up keeping my shots under 600 yards with both calibers. This was quite a while ago and perhaps there are better bullets available today, but the heavier bullets and VLD's I tried usually pinholed through game and IMO lacked in killing power at the longer distances. Back then I used a Leopold MK4 4.5x14x50. [/QUOTE]
