[QUOTE="Michael Eichele, post: 876575, member: 1007"] You said 35 degrees. What's your elevation? I know Litz uses a really low BC for the 178. He uses an average out to 1k. That said out to 700 it's a bit higher. For the velocities and temps you're running 750 is pretty much as far as I would care to go. I run my 178s quite a bit faster and most critters I'm after are at a fair altitude so I feel comfortable going a bit farther with my set up. When the 190 ALR finally gets released, it may be a game changer for the 308. Decent BC, good weight and LOW velocity for expansion requirements all equal a perfect storm for the lower velocity cartridges such as the 308. If it has a BC close to the 190 VLD, the 308s effective deer range will increase a good amount. I don't have any trouble getting to 2650 with 190s in 26" barrels. At 5000' in 60 degree air, it'll offer 1000 foot pounds at 1k yards. [/QUOTE]
