[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 305262, member: 11717"] IMO, the 308 is not near enough rifle for a 1000 yd shot on a mullie... unless you just want to punch a pencil hole in its side. I also belive the 300 WM comes a little short of a good 1K deer killer, as does the 338 WM, 300 WSM, 7RM, 7WSM, etc., simply because none of these will deliver a bullet 1K down range with the velocity required for expansion. There may be 1 or 2 bullets you could use that expand at lower velocities like the A-Max. By far the best cartridge on your list is the 300 RUM. It will get you a little beyond 1K with most expanding hunting bullets with a good BC. -MR [/QUOTE]
