[QUOTE="Rymart, post: 114892, member: 3688"] If I consistently got around 0.50 MOA with one of the hunting bullets that I tried, I would go that route, but could only do that with the 168, 175, and 190 gr SMK's. I was only able to get the Hornady's and SGK's to around and inconsistent 1.0 MOA, and even at that the 165 -168 gr bullets that I tried seemed to get worse as the distance got greater (at a faster rate than the 175's and the 190's to be specific). At this point, I don't know if I would actually take a 1000 yard shot with the 308. The conditions would have to be perfect and I would still be concerned about the retained energy at that distance. I would feel more comfortable with a 600 to 800 yard shot. Essentially, I'm not going to be looking for a long shot, but may need to take one with the layout of this area so thats what I'm practicing and preparing for. Oh, and I'm definately going to be using a LRF. [/QUOTE]
