[QUOTE="liltank, post: 256302, member: 13275"] Michael, You very correct in the .308 caliber. Like I said it is very versatile and loaded properly will get you there. F class shooters have used it with great effect for years. I was just suggesting that there are some other calibers that will provide a flatter trajectory and accomplish the same results. 7mm is a very good bullet when it comes to distance shooting. Some guys really like the 6.5-284. It's all a matter of personal preferance. I just built a 300 WSM to flatten out the trajectory to ground hogs. Plus I wanted something a little heavier for poking deer at longer range. Good stuff, and there is nothing wrong with wishing a fellow shooter good luck. Matt, have fun doing some research. Read as much information as you can you will answer some of your own questions. Lilja has some really good information about long range hunting and shooting on there website. Here are some of the web addresses [url=http://demigodllc.com/articles/practical-long-range-rifle-shooting-equipment/]PRACTICAL LONG-RANGE RIFLE SHOOTING - PART I: THE RIFLE & GEAR[/url] [url=http://demigodllc.com/articles/practical-long-range-rifle-shooting-optics/]PRACTICAL LONG-RANGE RIFLE SHOOTING - PART II: OPTICS[/url] [url=http://demigodllc.com/articles/practical-long-range-rifle-shooting-shooting/]PRACTICAL LONG-RANGE RIFLE SHOOTING - PART III: SHOOTING[/url] I found these to be pretty useful when trying to decide on a caliber.
