[QUOTE="Oliveralan, post: 340248, member: 20245"] If you ignore shooter induced variables. say perfect weather conditions and rifle free-recoiling, take the shooter out of the equation. A .308 with 28-30" tube shooting 200gr sierra gamekings (expansion velocity >1500fps) using VV-N540 the .308 can maintain 1000ft/lbs of energy to 750yards. But a .308 is far from ideal for deer at that kind of range, as a do all starter gun, it works pretty well. A .308 was my first gun and i loved it, used it for deer, hogs, steel, and paper. The recoil isnt too punishing and reloading for it isnt all that expensive, meaning you can get out and shoot more. BTW .280fan we seem to be posting on all the same threads XD i just looked over all the sub forums for threads that interested me and now im going through them posting. Your 3 gun setup sounds awsome! im planning on something like that. mine will be: custom .308 for f-class (being built right now), 7WSM, .284win or 7Dakota, and a 25-06 or 6.5-06 AI. Still a lot of opitions but im sure ill have decided long before i have the cash to make them a reality. [/QUOTE]
