[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 1514922, member: 12443"] Well ive said it can be done, but not nearly as well as with larger cartridges. Which is why the extreme distance shooters don't use them. As for a hunting cartridge, and from the standpoint of effectiveness on larger animals, id suggest talking to those who actually use them for their opinion on distance. I mean you can also put 100 concrete block on a half ton pickup, but should you? A mile is one helluva lot further than it sounds when sitting around talking about it. And most here who do, have never actually tried it or even watched as someone else did, except on a video where everything is possible. I have 2 7x300 Weatherbys which are better balisticly than the Win Mag. I don't use the heavy bullets because 162s shoot flatter than they do out to 1200 yds because of my velocity (3400), and in my opinion that is about where its time for more gun. I have killed a deer slightly beyond that distance with one but see no need to try it again. Mind you now im talking heavy PA air. Lets go shoot some guns, then we can talk with some level of actuall hands on experience. As for the 308 it is a great cartridge, we burn lots of ammo in them practice shooting at rocks in order to save the barrels on the hunting guns. But again, don't be kidding yourself about it's capability. [/QUOTE]
