[QUOTE="ScottB, post: 457125, member: 28606"] Last weekend was the 'last weekend' for the youth to hunt whitetails with a firearm in the State of Arkansas(bow hunting from now until Feb 28th now!!). Son got a doe during this hunt with a Savage 10FP .308Win. I ranged her at 428 yards, twice and 429 yards once(not sure what is up with that-he used info on the drop chart for 425yds) and she hadn't moved. Although not quite what I'd consider to be long range, but she bang-flopped in her tracks. Load was his favorite Win case with Varget powder, CCI primer, and Nosler 150grBalTip. The extreme spread on this load during development was 9! Drop chart made and a rangefinder with fresh battery will put meat in the freezer out to 800 yards. I'm going to go with the figures from the US Army of effective range of 800meters on the 308Win cartridge.(Marines call it effective to 900meters...possibly a "mine is better then yours thing?")
