[QUOTE="bwaites, post: 167323, member: 8733"] Eaglet, punching paper is one thing... The question was; [B]Is this caliber capeable of taking game out to (or close to) 1000 yards (834 meters), accurately and humanely?[/B] The .308 has somewhere around 500 foot/pounds or less of energy left at 1000 yards, depending on which projectile you are using, which is just not enough energy to humanely do the job, at least in my book. For targets, and for learning, it is superb, and with all the available data, perhaps THE best caliber for learning. But for taking game at 1000 yards, I just don't feel it is enough tool.
