[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 278177, member: 2736"] With that said , there is one other factor that should be considered . Down range energy. Using a 168gr hunting bullet the 308 will have about 1500 ft/lbs of energy @ 300 yrds (Enough for an Elk if the shot is well placed. At 525yrds the 308 only has 1000 ft/lbs of energy left and this is the recomended minimum on deer size game. So with all of these factors in play if you wanted to hunt beyond these distances a more powerfull round would be recomended. For an example= the 300 win mag would have the same energy at 550yrds(1500 ft/lbs) and 800yrds (1000 ft/lbs). I hope this will help answer your question. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
