[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 904997, member: 10178"] First off with a 22" barrel forget the 1000 yard shooting dream. You just can't get the velocity out of a 22" barrel you need to be consistent at 1000 yards. You need to give a little more information on the hunting end. Like what do you intend to hunt. I have killed a bunch of deer over the years with a 308 and I can tell you that I don't like to use Match Style bullets like the Sierra Match King. In my experience sometimes they open up like a grenade going off and other times they just pencil through. For a good all round deer size game bullet the 165 Nosler Ballistic Tip is a good one. Nosler and Federal loads this bullet in factory ammo. [/QUOTE]
