[QUOTE="bastover, post: 514897, member: 34317"] Well every barrel is different. Rule of thumb is 40-50 fps per inch of barrel loss. example 24 in barrel 2900 fps. 22in barrel 2800 fps. Like I stated before all barrels are different though. To me a good carrying deer rifle for 500 yd shots would be a 7mm-08 with a #5 fluted barrel at 23 inchs long 1-9 twist in a htg mcm stock or a b&c medalist stock. I tend to lean toward a heavy rifle. Thats just me. 308 has killed a many of deer and I have a good friend who hunts with one along with my dad. I would stay with the same set up as well. Encore barrels I would not shoot past 100 yards never had one that would shoot good. Hinge pin shifts in the frame causing point of impact shift. [/QUOTE]
