[QUOTE="buckfynn, post: 511706, member: 33539"] Welcome to LRH, Rboyson. I have used my .308 to kill deer, black bear, and elk. Most of my shots have been between 100 and 200 yards. With the right load, and using a range finder to calculate distance, I wouldn't hesitate to take elk up to 400 yards under ideal conditions. BTW: Most of the time I use a .243 for deer and black bear. You will have to try a variety of ammo to see how your rifle will shoot. You might want to try Nosler Partition, Barnes TSX, and plain old Core-Lokt SPS plus others to see how your rifle groups with each type of ammo. If you do not find the results you desire with factory ammo, then see if your buddy will work up some handloads for you. [/QUOTE]
