[QUOTE="copasj, post: 439017, member: 26561"] I was using 170 winchester power-points, so it's definitely lagging behind the likes of a 7mm-08. I only brought up the 30-30 to point out that it doesn't take much to harvest a deer. My point was that if you can get a pass through and clean harvest with a 30-30 past 100, a 7mm-08 would easily get you similar performance at least to 400ish with a little over half the powder of the magnums. Edit: As an aside I am also just trying to get into shooting at longer ranges. I ended up getting a .308 because that was what I found on sale on a used gun rack. I would have probably chosen a 7mm-08 had one been available, but sense I had just gotten rid of my .300 Magnum I did have some .30 cal bullets on hand. And I figure sense .308/7mm-08 rounds are cheaper to load and easier to shoot, more time could be spent shooting and learning vs. the bigger stuff. [/QUOTE]
