[QUOTE="texan79, post: 488374, member: 24228"] This is not accurate at all. Run the numbers on a 175 SMk loaded to a modest 2650 fps and it will hold a thousand lbs energy to 700 yds. I have to disagree with trebark too on this one. (I usually dont) I have not fired the 208 amax or 210 VLD's, but for the little case of the .308, it is my opinion that a 180 is about tops for the little dude. I'm shooting a 1:10 twist and it puts 175's in the same hole. I do agree that for elk, 400 is about all I would ask for out of the 308. I think a partition bullet may be better served for elk than an SMK, amax or VLD. Just my opinion, and I know elk have been killed by less. Guns are kinda like race cars, there's no replacement for displacement. [/QUOTE]
