[QUOTE="Huntinfool, post: 167252, member: 2264"] [b]Well!!![/b] I shoot the .308 and I'm not comfortable shooting over 750 to 800 yards my load goes subsonic at about 850 if not a tad sooner. I've shot targets at 1000 and the groups were twice moa size. Not really the kind of accuracy one looks for when hunting. Now it's a different deal at 800 yards I can keep them near moa. So in my opinion a .308 is a great cartridge but one must know it's limitations. Unless your load is a lot hotter than mine it won't do 1000 yards very well. I believe the US armed forces consider 800 yards about max for the cartridge also. Chuck [/QUOTE]
