[QUOTE="jlamb, post: 488444, member: 18855"] I have two 308, one with a 26" barrel (tactical setup) and a DPMS AR10. Through the Savage I shoot 175SMKs and hit out to 800 yards consitantly. (2850 fps, w/Varget) I shoot 155 AMax or 155 SMK Palma through the DPMS using varget. They fly out about 2950fps. I have a real issue with using a 308 as a elk rifle past 200 yards. I've seen to many animals run off never to be found when shot with smaller weapons. If you are going to attempt it, use a monolythic bullet (Barnes or Hornad GMX). I'd limit your distance to 250 yards so you don't lose the animal. My $.02. [/QUOTE]
