[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 1142472, member: 39764"] Don't want to bust your bubble but no 308 is lethal on big game at 1000 yards. Paper sure, game, no. Not enough kinetic energy. Fine to 600. Past 600 real iffy. 1000, no way. You need a brake on a 308??? What gives with that? I shoot a Bartlien Light Contour barreled, Manners Stocked, Savage action with a Vortex Viper on top that weighs 8 pounds with 3 in the belly and it kicks about as hard as a lady's rifle... or basically not at all. I shot Berger 168 VLD's in Lapua Brass with Varget propellant and she shoots less than 1" groups at 200 yards consistently.... Better learn how to handload. [/QUOTE]
